And I guess I agree with the radio broadcaster- it didn't sound that close. Evidently there was a tough 1st quarter, but then it was all downhill for Manual until the X subs were getting in late in the 4th.

Okay, this game aside, I want to congratulate the Manual seniors and staff for an otherwise fun year. I look forward to next year, mainly from curiousity as to who's going to take over from this senior heavy team.

Congrats to the Tigers. And great season to the Crimsons

Congrats X.

I still feel manual has a solid team but makes too many small mistakes.

 

What is up with the terrible obsessive celebration call on X, are kids not allowed to have fun, there was nothing individual about it. That ref should be ashamed.

It's kind of wierd... I feel sadder this year than I did the last two years, even though Manual went further into the playoffs. I think it's because this group of seniors was the last that I played with... I think I'm starting to feel old!

Clearly, the better team won--again.

StThomasMore as much as im sure you feel powerful making that profound observation it was not necessary.

Congratulations to St. X on beating a good team twice. Good season Manual. Not easy to do and the second time was in the playoffs. We are St.X

St. X will be the 4A state champs again. I'm just upset Manual didn't really put up a fight... at least not what they could have. But even still, clear all of Manuals mistakes off the table, it would've been an X victory. Congrats and good luck. I'm sure JH will have plenty to say next week, though.

Is Coach Nichols leaving? Are you talking about juniors that need to step up?

I'm talking about the players. It should be an interesting mix of classes starting next year.

Hats off to Manual..they played hard until the final second ticked off the clock. Good luck Tigers against John Hardin.

:confused: Did anyone notice all of the wrong scores on WLEX, WKYT, and the ABC station? I thought "Manuel" had won 33-18. I was truly stunned, only to get on here and find out different. At 11:23, Somerset and Pikeville were still tied 7-7...
