Round 2 of the playoffs is upon us and we've got the next installment of a long time rivalry on deck for Friday night!

Manual (9-2) visits Male (7-4) as these two teams meet for the second time three weeks. The Crimsons steamrolled Male 52-13 on Halloween, their second win in a row against the Bulldogs. 

Can Male do anything to generate a different outcome, or will Manual continue their dominance?

Video from Glicod: 

 

Probably similar result as last meeting. Manual offense vastly better than Male's.

I thought this game was at Male since Male was #1 seed in district and Manual #2 seed in district.

Still like Manual to roll in this game though!

It's at Male.

Afraid Male vs Manuel is just a redo of Halloween 1st game.

Been a long, long time since Male didn't have a chance in a second-round playoff game.

But that's where we are with this one.

Manual 49, Male 7

Bump.

Probably closer than a couple of weeks ago but still see Manual winning with ease. 

Manual hasn't put up two wins on Male in the same season since 1988. Over a quarter-century.

The Crimsons' 39 point win over the Bulldogs on October 31st was Manual's largest margin of victory over Male since 1971, and is their third-largest margin of victory over the Bulldogs, ever.

That will be changing. LOL

I was there in 1971. Cold, snowy and muddy field at the Fairgrounds. Great childhood memory.

Too much pride on that H sideline to go quietly into the night. Good to see them putting up a fight.
