Football

Last week the Crimsons defeated Eastern High School by a score of 34-13. Manual jumped out to an early 21-0 lead before giving up a touchdown right before halftime, making the score 21-7. The Crimsons then scored two more touchdowns within the first six minutes of the second half and never looked back. This week Manual will travel to Henderson County on Nov. 4 at 7:30 for the first round of the KHSAA Class 6A playoffs. If the Crimsons beat Henderson County (3-7 record) they will play either St. Xavier or Muhlenberg County. Last year the Crimsons won their first round matchup against Ballard High School but lost in the second round to Male.
