Blood, sweat, and tears will be shed during the Manhattan game. One side will have tears of joy while the other side will face defeat and agony. One team will go home with the silver trophy while the other team goes home with nothing but the pads. On Friday, October 7^th the Junction City Blue Jays will play the Manhattan Indians. The fight for the silver trophy begins now.

Manhattan is currently 5-0, 4-0 league play, putting them in second place in league. Ian Trapp is a dual threat quarterback; he has had 100 plus rushing yards in every game this season. Manhattan likes to run the ball a lot so expect them to ground and pound the ball down the field.

Junction City is currently 5-0, 4-0 in league play, sitting in first place of the Centennial League. Ryan Henington continues to have a terrific season but his last game against Highland Park wasn’t his best game, so expect him to shine during the biggest game of the season. The offense looks to continue to roll through Manhattan while the defense looks to continue being stout. The defense is currently number one in the Centennial League only allowing 53 points throughout the season.

This game has Centennial League champion implications. Whoever wins this game will sit in first place in league and look to close out the season in first. This game is going to be close and will come down to the team that has the most heart and will to win. Friday night will decide who stays undefeated.
