Washburn for Manual is a stud. Quick, strong and great feet. It will be fun watching him develope in the future. 

I agree. He is very good.

Score is what you'd expect with two strong defenses. Thought the St. X offense found ways to be efficient with their offense after the 1st quarter scoop and score, but pre-snap penalties and a costly red zone turn over hurt their drives. The turnovers for TDs at the beginning of games is frustrating, but for me the pre snap penalties is what's most concerning; those are drive killers and has been happening too much from and all positions have been sharing in it. 

The defense has been outstanding. They're fast, physical, and play hard. Great job finishing this game off and being 1-0 in district play!

I didn't realize Teddy Meiers was out last night with injury. Defense is stronger with him on D-Line. Coach Wallace said he should be back by playoffs. Speaking of playoffs, If Male beats Bullitt East then St. X would be in bracket with Bullitt East. It also would put Manual with Male and those two would play each other most likely which would be two weeks after playing at end of season. That Male/Bullitt East game has big playoff implications for St. X and Manual.

Noticed Teddy didn't play last night too, did Cooper Smith last night? Usually, he's one of the return guys but he wasn't back there this week?

I'm friends with Teddy's parents who said he had surgery the morning of the game.  So not sure what kind of surgery post op recovery would make that turnaround, but glad BG doesn't face him.  And hope he recovers quickly.  He certainly has had alot of injuries.

21 for 25!  WOW!  That's roughly 85%!!!  Makes you question Manuals pass defense.  Were the Crimsons selling out to stop the run?  Just don't see those type numbers often.

I saw several screens to the sideline and WR would get YAC. Manual D line was big and good so it was easier to pass than run until later in the game when Manual D was more fatigued.

Probably 5 to 6 of those completions were quick screens or tosses on jet sweeps. Still impressive percentage though.

I said that last year when they were to play Owensboro and he was out - you don't have to watch to much film on that young man to know he's a player.
