St. Xavier @ Manual

[Old-School-Football]

I saw just enough "grit" out of the Tigers last week to pick them over Manual. Offense seems to be a work in progress but no shortage of talent. Think the QB just needs a little touch on the ball. Hate to say it but kind of reminds me of Reggie playing QB for the Rocks. Again, plenty of talent.

 

Just happy to see the kids fight last week against the Rocks. I think it will carry over this week.

 

X - 17

M - 13

If Ridder can keep the completion percentage up this offense has the potential to be very good. This is the best offensive scheme during the Wolford era.

Sorry to say i read a comment about their future at Manual isnt bright. St. x jv beat then 44-2 and the freshman team has under 20 players and i do not think they are strong as a whole. Manual has been very good over the years and it looks like they are in for a long few seasons after this year

This game will seal the fait for the 2015 Tigers. A loss vs. Manual and a Win against Male really does no good. X must win vs. Manual (and convincingly) to have any chance vs. Male!!! A loss vs. Manual and well, you can pack it in!!!!! Lets see what kind of character these Tigers have!!!!

 

My wishful thinking pick: St. X 31 - Manual 10

X wins by 14. Ballard had Manual on the ropes and got beat at Manual mostly because of foolish penalties. X doesn't play dumb.

[DeSales Dad]

This ought to be very interesting.

 

Not sure M has been really tested.

Not sure how Bad \ or good X is ?

 

Cant wait to see how it shakes out !

 

Manual has beaten Central and Fern Creek. I know neither is 6-A, but I would count those as quality wins.

The same Central that beat X.

If you walk past Manual Stadium around game time, there may be the smell of syrup, especially around the visitors locker room.

This game has huge playoff implications... A win by X & they most likely get Trinity in the second round, a win by Manual would most likey mean they go to Trinity in the second round and X visits Male in the second round. Huge game!

[LongTimeReader]

Yes, there are playoff implications, but I'm not sure how huge they are. Either way the chances are you're going to have to go through the top two teams in order win a state champions. Just a matter if it's the second or third round.

Pick your poison...right? You want the #1 or #2 team in the state in the 2nd round? Don't want to go in that direction on this beautiful Friday but the bracket is HORRIBLE.

 

Best of luck to the Tigers and Crimsons tonight. Can't wait to see the outcome.

 

Will be more fun to watch over the next few weeks when both teams play Male. Man, I miss the Super District.

[Jo-Jo13]

Showing my age here but I was on the last Manual team to beat X. Great feeling!!! Manual is on a roll and at home, X has lost 2 out of the last 4. I'm taking the Rams. Maybe I'm bias but............

I think they are pretty big for everyone... I feel T has a much better shot beating Male at Trinity vs at Male, I think homefield is huge in that potential rematch. But who knows, maybe it doesn't even happen if X or Manual knocks T or H out, anythings possible at this point! Gonna be fun to watch the scenarios play out!
