Manhattan High football closed out the regular season by blanking Washburn Rural 46-0 on senior night, securing the Centennial League trophy Friday night at Bishop Stadium.
It marked Manhattan’s second league title in three years after rival Junction City took the crown last fall. The Indians will enter the postseason with a 6-2 record, with all six wins following a 0-2 start to the season against Mill Valley and Rockhurst.
Leading the way offensively in the Indians’ win was quarterback Mclain Aslin, who stuffed the stat sheet with a new-career-high rushing total, unofficially 275 yards on 25 attempts.
Aslin broke his career-high of 184 rushing yards, which he set at Junction City earlier this season. The junior added five total touchdowns, with four coming on the ground. In the air, Aslin went 6-of-9 for 74 yards.
