And X will win by 21. Manual's only chance is to get a lead that they can't blow. I cannot see that happening in any way shape or form.

Finch and all the other Tigers play in this hyped up blowout. X wins 38 - 14.

 

My sources say Finch will not play again this season.

 

Manual will not be able to adjust to St. Xavier's new passing attack. Fortunately, some other schools may have time to prepare for life without Rolandan.

 

 

St. Xavier 35-Manual 14.

St. X's visiting side hasn't been half full once this year, including games against T at the JV and freshmen level. Overall the stadium SEATS over 6,000, which is around 2,000 more than the one off of Shelbyville Rd. The visiting side on Poplar Level holds 1,000, so saying that if every player brings both parents, it'll be full is nothing but hyperbole. In addition to seating 2,000 more than some other stadiums, it also has plenty of standing room around the field for a few thousand more. If a visitor fills the visiting stands (which hasn't happened yet), there's plenty of space to stand, or they could come sit on the home side if they can find a seat. Just curious what the visitor seating capacity is on Shelbyville, because I can't imagine that it's that much more.

If true, I think Montano and Neal will be very capable backups.

Get your tickets early!

There is seating and there is useable seating. The sight lines from the front seat of your car in the parking lot are just about as good as the visitors stands. My suggestion to the Manual folks is to get there early and take over a section of the home side. At least from there you can see the game.

Your prognostication for the final score in this post is very strange. Is it a typo? You had noted earlier that Manual would win if Rolandan Finch did not play for St. X., plus in this thread poll , you picked Manual to emerge as the victor. Where do you actually stand on this? :lol:

Gemetrically speaking, the statement about "your car" is not true unless you drive a big semi to the game. :lol:

Flip a coin. Two of the top teams in the state meet, and it could go down to the final series. The game is at X, but Finch is out. I'll speculate X, 21-17.

Its hard to beat a team twice in the same season....Rams 21-17

14-10 X wins with late score on the legs of Big Z.

I do think this will be a lot closer without Finch, but the Tigers have been there before and experience in the playoffs is a plus.

Personally, and for what it's worth, I do not think the Crimsons are quite ready to beat the Tigers. Manual has done a good job in getting its program to the current level but I think they need one more year of seasoning to learn how to win the big ones...... But..one never knows when the breakthrough will occur. Good luck to both teams. It is a testament to Manual's new status that so many people are interested in this game.

I guess being a Male fan for me its the lesser of two evils... Manual put on a show against us, and St.X embarrassed us. But for the record I'm going to say St.X by 7.

Yes, I agree that Ballard, Fern Creek and Manual can be in the final four.

Well dang no love for the bulldawgs? Well if i had to guess i would say Male vs X and Trinity vs Ryle for the Final4
