Its a good thing you are not nailing the casket shut on Male, because when it comes to High School football there are always alot of up and down cycles. In the last couple of years yes Male has lost to the Crimson's but that does not mean they are taking a turn in the wrong direction. This year Male has all of their O-line back as well as an abundance of returning starters at key positions, including a QB who took them to the 6A State semi-final last year. The dawgs will be back and Manual is not ready to take their place. As far as the up and down cycles look what Manual loses from last year, quite a bit i think. As far as academics Lou. Male is right there with Manual.
