Not anymore.

And the results? Well, Manchester just narrowly edged Valley 3-2.For Valley, it was definitely a moral victory. "We're going to be very good," Jack Shambaugh and Mark Gast both concurred after the Vikings lost. "We lost a heartbreaker, but in years past, this wouldn't have been close," Shambaugh said.
