Both teams open district play this Friday as the Tigers make the short 8.5 mile drive down Bardstown Road to Mt. Washington to take on the Bullitt East Chargers. Bullitt East sits at 4-2 and last took the field against Manual two weeks ago losing in a game that was never in doubt. Fern Creek sits at 1-5 after losing to Ballard this past Thursday in a game that was shortened by a brawl that involved a lot of players from both teams. Bullitt East is not having a great season but they are having a good one. As they open district play they have aspirations of challenging Male for the district title this year. Fern Creek is in their first season under new HC Justin Nichols but have struggled so far this season having only bested Moore back in early Sept. Historically this has been a tough game for Bullitt East, even when they seemed to be the better team by a wide margin. The Tigers seemed to play some of their best ball against the Chargers. Not sure how many Fern Creek players will be suspended following the late game ruckus with Ballard but I will say that Ballard seemed to me to be the aggressor in that confrontation. I think the Chargers take care of business this week but we will see.

I agree, was watching live and saw nothing brewing ahead of time to think that may happen.

I've been thinking it would be Trinity/FD in the finals most of the year. This game might be a state semi preview. I'm gonna pick against FD for the first time all year. Just didn't look sharp against Male.

Manuals D is pretty good. Just don't see X scoring enough to get a win here.

Voted for Ballard by mistake.

I'll take Highlands by a couple of scores. Also sorry to hear about the young man's father. Just terrible.

Bullitt east blocks FG attempt. Manual pick it up and throws to Manual player who takes it in for a TD. East 7 Manual 49

Manual is the best team on the BE schedule. They are the better team. No denying that. But I've been disappointed that BE hasn't matched Manuals physicality. If they are better, then they are better, which they are. But they've shoved us around and that's disappointing.
