Dupont Manual ♈ vs. Male 🟣🟡
Records/Rankings
♈ | 8-1, 6A #3
🟣🟡 | 5-4, 6A #8

“The Old Rivalry”. The tables have turned, with the Crimsons seizing control. As Male feels its way through a transitional period, Manual is thriving with wins over St. Xavier and South Warren. The Dawgs are lacking any wins of substance and suffered a setback to Bullitt East last week. The temperature feels right for Manual to tighten its grip on the barrel with a third straight win over its ancient rival. The record books have to be dusted off for this one, which reaches all the way back to 1893. Male leads the all-time series 90-47-6. Manual crushed the Dawgs last year, 52-13, marking one of the biggest wins ever for the Crimsons in the series.

The Frederick Douglass Broncos (9-0) travel to Boyle County to take on the Rebels (8-1) for the 3rd time. This marks the 6th straight year that two of the best programs in central Kentucky will close out the regular season. So far the Rebels have won 4 of the first 5 meetings with the only Douglass win coming at Boyle Co. in 2022 when they went 15-0 and won the State 5A title.

🗞️ Headlines 📰
- Out Foxxed again!!! First it was Kade Goodin, now it's Timmy Emongo’s turn to ball out in defeat to Foxx Coons and Woodford County. Scott County's all-purpose star ran and received for 100+ yards each and scored three touchdowns, but the Cards weren't adequately dressed for “Jacket” weather. Coons is still a darkhorse at this point, but his play as of late merits recognition. He's thrown for over 500 yards with a TD/INT ratio of 9/0 in back to back wins over Collins and Scott County.
