The Birds travel south to Paris, KY for the Kentucky Bank Shootout tonight and take on Dupont Manual.

Birds should roll in this one. Manual is in a rebuilding year and the Birds size and physicality should be too much for the Crimsons.

 

Highlands by 10-15

I heard Manual has a lot of athletes and speed but they struggle shooting the ball. I look for the Birds to get after them tonight and win a close one.

 

Birds 48

Manual 40

This same Manual team lost to J'town and Eastern by over 30 points. I realize Highlands isn't either of those teams, but the Birds have some size and that could give Manual a lot of trouble.

Yep and St. Henry lost to Holmes by 40. : )

 

Never underestimate your opponent.

Manual has a couple of nice athletes that I do remember watching this summer in Quintez Sutton and Andre Gray.

Massey Ratings predicts Manual to win 64-59. Not sure how much faith I put in those things though that calculate scores.

Must be pretty close as Manual wins 65-55. Manual has lost by 37 to Ballard and to Eastern by 50 points and beats Highlands by 10, might be a tough year for the birds.
