Manhattan High boys’ basketball opened Centennial League play Friday night with another statement performance, rallying past Topeka High 70-63 on the road to extend its winning streak to seven games — the program’s longest since the 2016-17 season.
The win pushed Manhattan to 7-1, a remarkable turnaround for a group that won just six games all of last season. According to head coach Benji George, Friday’s result proved this team can win in a multitude of ways.
“We’ve won the grindy-type games like Hugoton and Hays were,” George said. “But tonight was a completely different game than Tuesday night. This one was fast-paced, perimeter-oriented, and we showed that we can excel in all styles.”
