BGP's #1 in 3A Central begins its usual gauntlet at 6A #3 Manual on Friday. Does Central have a chance in this one?

Central has a goal to beat 6A teams this year. My crystal ball says they get this one 21-20.

Good article in the CJ today just on that:

 

Yellowjackets good as gold, but ruling 3-A again isn't Central's only aim

“I love state championships, but I don’t think about that as much because we seem to win that every year and we lose to the Class 6-A teams,’’ senior defensivetackle/center Dekwain Tarrence said. “I want to beat the 6-A teams.’’

Yes, Central has a chance. It'll be a battle between 2 all-state caliber running backs, Wales for Central and Warr for Manual. The question is, Whose line can block better?

I believe that this game could be close. I believe that Manual will win, but that the chances of Central winning are not too bad neither. Tough one for me to pick.

Manual 27-23. I hear Manual may be the best team in Louisville besides Trinity or St. X.
