However, Manchester was stopped on 4th down with a yard to go at the Bluffton 37-yard line, and from there it was all Tigers.
Bluffton (6-4) got on the board with 5:46 left in the first quarter for the 7-0 lead, and doubled the score with a touchdown midway through the second.
The Tigers scored two more times to take a commanding 28-0 lead into halftime.
They scored once more in the second half, but by then they already had the game safely out of the Squires’ reach.
