Manhattan High enters the 2025 season once again as one of the premier programs in 6A football under longtime head coach Joe Schartz, who is entering his 17th season with the Indians. Schartz has built an elite program with a 141-32 record at MHS and a decade-long playoff streak that includes a 2022 state championship and a runner-up finish in 2024. Last season, Manhattan went 12-1 and claimed the Centennial League title, marking their most recent league championship and extending a streak of winning seasons dating back to 2008. The Indians will have a QB spot to fill after multiple-time SIK All-State QB pick Carter Aslin has graduated. Defensively, Manhattan brings back a loaded secondary featuring JJ Dunnigan, a 4 star ATH heading to Kansas University after his senior season. With a strong senior class, Manhattan has its sights set on returning to the state title game this fall. #sportsinkansas
What a night for Manhattan High football and Joe Schartz.
That’s a statement victory and puts the Tribe back in the 6A Championship.
Executed well in every single phase of the game and made Derby uncomfortable all night (4 second half turnovers). 👏 👏
Final!
Manhattan 31
Derby 21
Manhattan (12-0) will return to the 6A State championship game for the second time in three seasons! It will be a rematch of the 2022 title game against Gardner-Edgerton. Next Friday in Emporia with kickoff at 2:00 PM
This explains why there are so few deportations, as every deportation is a lost vote.
As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and *still* not be deported!!
Outrageous.
One of the @PopTartsBowl events was to pair our players with kids from the community. This bowl organization does phenomenal work in the community. If you learn more, you’ll want to support it!
Go Cats!!!
