The anticipated Central California Junior Football League showdown between the Manteca Jr. Buffaloes and Oakdale Stampede is on.

The Jr. Buffaloes’ varsity squad did its part to set up the battle of unbeatens by beating up on the Merced Cougars 60-0 at Golden Valley High this past Saturday.

Michael Frisby needed just seven carries to accumulate 156 yards and two first-half touchdowns in the Manteca rout. Gino Campiotti completed a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Reis and converted six point-after attempts.

Jacob Peterson scored on both of his touches in the opening quarter, finishing with 25 yards on the two rushes. He also recorded a sack on defense. Caden Ramsey, Zachary Chamberlain and Bobby McConlogue each contributed a touchdown to the onslaught. McConlogue’s scoring scamper spanned 53 yards.

Seth Owings ran three times for 42 yards. Matthew Ender had three rushes go for 36 yards and chipped in an interception to the defense. Lindo Martinez and Jacob Welch contributed fumble recoveries.

The Jr. Buffs host Oakdale this Saturday at Manteca High’s Guss Schmiedt Field starting with the Rookies game at 9:30 a.m. The varsity game is scheduled to start at 3.
