Fresh off a 12-1 season that ended in a narrow Class 6A state championship loss to Gardner-Edgerton, Manhattan High football’s 2025 schedule is a slate that mirrors last year’s opponents with flipped hosting duties.
Manhattan went 8-0 in the regular season last fall, notching its sixth perfect regular season under head coach Joe Schartz.
The Indians logged four shutouts and scored 50-plus points in five games.
The Indians open at home Sept. 5 against Garden City, a team they routed 57-21 last year on the road.
