Sounds like a good game! Manual seemed to wear FC Down, but Kinslow is a player!

They did wear on our defense, 79 plays to our 40.

Manual has a bunch of big linemen, hurt us on both sides

Despite the size advantage we hung with them and was a 2 OT game until we gave up a big punt return in the 4th qtr. and even then we responded and cut it to 3 puts again. Of course they added a late score to seal it.

We hung in the game despite allowing big yardage by holding them to 1/4 in Redzone, with a blocked field goal returned for TD and 2 interceptions in Redzone.

Highlights

Fern Creek has some good looking athletes and dress a lot of kids. They could be a scary matchup for someone in the 5a playoffs. Not sure they don't deserve a Top 10 ranking already.

Wow, FC looked pretty good! Definite darkhorse in 5A!
