The only way Manual deserves to get there is to win the game necessary to be there. That is the beauty of this game, you earn everything you get. UP to this point Manual deserves nothing. 

If Manual is good enough and Covid avoids them, then they too will get waxxed in the title game.

I don’t agree about earning everything you get most schools have to take what comes through their system but not all so it’s not all about earning what you get if you believe that you are living in a dream world. I will always pull for success with the public schools.

Can you  explain the system that Manual "gets" kids out of? Manual is in the same system as Butler and MALE! Male has had plenty of success in THAT system. The difference is that Male never runs from the elite programs. Manual does everything they can to not play them. I guess you can say that LaSalle was elite but that does nothing to see  how you compare in KY. Male earned their titles and title games in that system. Manual has not. 

I hope they earn their chance this year. IF you beat X and NH you deserve the chance to play in the Championship if it works out that way. Then they can not run from anyone.

Manual isn’t in same feeder system as Male and Butler. Male and Butler mainly get kids from traditional programs that has traditional middle schools that feed them and better players typically choose Male over Butler. Traditional program is based on lottery to get in. Manual has competitive admissions so they can select whoever they want that applies and why they have highest test scores since don’t take low performance kids. Traditional program also weeds out low performance kids but I saw JCPS changing that policy. https://www.dupontmanual.com/magnetapp.html

Apparently laketime85 has some personal issues with Manual I just said I would like to see them get there every school deserves success sooner or later.
