BEChargers

I don't think there are too many coaches hiding much now 6 or 7 weeks in. Might be a wrinkle or two but this is a big game for home field. I'd show whatever I had to.

Votes are currently 36-10 in favor of X. Seems like a very popular opinion.

Manual 37 East 7 final.

After a long drive, Manual turns it over on downs inside the 15 of East. East takes over on own 12

3 and out for East. Manual takes over at own 43. Manual still up 30-0

East forces a punt. Takes over on own 31

East forces a punt to start the half, drives into Manual territory again then turns it over on downs. Manual 1st/10 on their own 20. Still up 30-0

East takes it into Manual territory again before another INT and it’s returned all the way to the 4 yard line if East. 2.6 seconds to play in the half. Basically one play to try to make it a running clock. East 0 Manual 30 Half. East came into this game needing to play almost error free to have a shot and they’ve made way too many errors. Give Manual credit for a lot of them, their defense is STOUT.

Another dropped pass and East forced to punt. Manual has a good defense and are committed to stopping the run which they’ve done for the most part. East has had some wr’s open but just can’t hit them or it’s dropped when they do. Manual qb scrambles for a 34 yard TD. XP good. East 0 Manual 30 1:33 2nd.

East drives it into Manual territory before throwing int. Manual returns to East 15. East’s QB was knocked out of the game due to roughing the passer hit. Also two dropped passes that series for East. One of them was a long one. Probably would have been ran down but would have been deep. Manual Dline taking it to the Chargers Oline. Manuals fg attempt is tipped but somehow makes it barely over the bar. East 0 Manual 23 3:18 2nd.

3 and out for East then Manual connects for 55 and a TD. East 0 Manual 20 10:50 2nd.

24 yard TD pass for Manual. XP good. East 0 Manual 13. :42 seconds 1st. East has two or three first downs, but if they want to stay in this game at all they need some points this drive.

East fumbles the ball going for it in 4th and 1. Manual ball on 50 yard line. Still 6-0 Manual.

Manual punches it in from 6 yards out. XP blocked. East 0 Manual 6 6:19 1st.

East gets one first down before being forced to punt. 1st/10 Manual on East 39. Snapped was muffed. Punter completed a pass is desperation but it was short of the 1st.

I really enjoy going to games at Central. There are a couple of churches that have paid parking and do a great job of keeping an eye on your vehicle. They are super hospitable and very nice people. Love the history of the place and the atmosphere. Since they're not having one of their best years, I would think their crowd will be smaller and not as raucous. But it's still a great place to visit. Plus, if they are frying fish down in the back of one of the endzone's I would partake.

Ballard has struggled to move the ball this season. They have not run the ball very well and passing game has been up and down. 6 int's versus 2 passing TD. Ballard's D has been solid. It is very tough to run the ball against them. I just don't see them being able to score enough to beat Boyle. I'm thinking 21-7 Boyle in a low scoring contest.

I'd be surprised if Boyle doesn't win by 2-3 scores.

I would like to see Lincoln prove me wrong and give Franklin a heck of a game. I just think it's a very tall order.

Tall order for the Chargers this week. Manual looked really good against Cooper. Manual's oline looked REALLY good against a stout Cooper dline. East has done a good job against the run this season and for them to stay in this game they will have to have their best game of the year against the run. Kaden Mack has also been very good for Manual at QB. Not large numbers, but very efficient. 145+ a game with 10 TD's against only 1 INT. East has to be able to run the ball this week to have a shot at the upset. Manual's dline is also very good. Will be at this one hoping for a good one.

No, they are not. I don't see this one being close at all. It is Lincoln's best team in a while, but it's not enough for Franklin.

Same.

Lincoln won 40-37 Final

East forces a punt and gets a first down to run the clock out East 41 Central 20 Final

Jump pass on 4th and 4 from Central’s 14 yard line gives the Chargers a 41-20 lead with 3:31 left in the game.
