Mannheim’s Lankford brothers, junior Jonathan and sophomore Jacob, combined for six sacks among their 13 tackles Saturday as the Bison thumped Naples 37-6 in a nonconference game at Mannheim between Division II schools.

Jonathan, a returning all-conference nose guard, also forced three fumbles, according to Mannheim coach Frank Macias, and ran for a 29-yard touchdown for the Bison (1-1).

Marcus Camps carried 12 times for 94 yards and scored on runs of 2 and 8 yards for the Bison, who also got a safety from Thomas Carter, an 11-yard TD run from Ben Spindler and a 7-yard TD dash from Trevin Peterson.

"Our O-line, anchored by seniors Chris Ellis and George Bradley, continually opened holes for our running backs while giving quarterback Ben Spindler time to throw downfield," Macias wrote in an e-mail report of the game. "Defensively, the Lankford brothers … harassed Naples QB Emmanuel Rawls all day. …"

Rawls rushed nine times for 73 yards, including a 4-yard TD, Macias reported. David Lowden led Naples (0-2, 0-0) with 11 tackles, three for losses, and Sterling Sheppard picked off a pass.
