With recent playoff memories fueling the fire, Manhattan High and Derby football will clash once again under the lights in a win-or-go-home sub-state championship game.
“It’s just satisfying to be at this point,” Manhattan head coach Joe Schartz said. “But we’re not done yet.”
The Indians (11-0) and the Panthers (11-0) will write another page in their recent chapter of dominating Kansas 6A West. It’ll be the fifth matchup between the two schools since 2022 — but the first time since then it won’t be an in-season rematch.
