Manual (6-2) is coming off a dismantling of PRP, having beaten the Panthers 54-6 last week. 

North Hardin (4-4) will be looking to bounce back, having been dominated by Saint Xavier 40-7 last Friday. 

Who wins this district matchup?

North Hardin has some talent and if they can cut down on penalties could be competitive but Manual will most likely impose their will and will not be close.

North Hardin comes into this game with the #1 rated QB in 6A, averaging 212 passing yards per game. His favorite target, Ronald Lunz is rated 3rd in 6A in receiving yards per game (81). 

I think that the Trojans can make this game interesting if they can cut down on penalties and stupid mistakes, which is their trademark. 

My Prediction: 

Manual 24

North Hardin 21

Bump.

David Pellman (Manual #55) EKU commit on the Oline  vs Josiah Hope (North Hardin # ? Louisville commit on the D line  should  be an interesting subplot in this one.

Any video of this game?

Not that I know of. Hardin County TV is broadcasting the Elizabethtown at John Hardin on Brandenburg channel 1 and NFHS.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts…….

For many years I have heard “if only North Hardin could cut down on penalties and sloppy mistakes”. Still waiting
