🗞 Central Punches Up In A Battle Of Tradition Rich Louisville Sluggers

The heart of Louisville will beat like a bass drum as six time state champion - none since 1966 - Manual pays a visit to six time champ - all since 2007 - Central.

The Crimsons were the premier program of the pre-playoff and early playoff eras, and might be the top contender to Trinity this year behind one of the state's best defenses, one that limited high powered CAL to ten points, albeit in a scrimmage.

The last twenty years have witnessed the Yellow Jackets evolve into one of the state's “new-bloods”. Central stumbled last year to its first losing season since 2002, including a 42-0 crimson boodbath in Week 1.

Can Central stand up to mighty Manual or will the Crimsons hand the Jackets their seventh consecutive loss in the series?

I think Manual rolls in this one. Central might not score on that tough Crimson defense.

Manual by a ton.

The Crimson by as many as they want.

Could Manual be the second-best team in Louisville?

The real question is will they ever make it to the 3rd round.

No, because CAL beat them in scrimmage. Potentially 3rd best.
