MAIZE — It was 364 days ago that Manhattan High football made the two-hour trek to Maize for a 6A West sectionals matchup. Then, the Indians spoiled the Eagles’ bid for a perfect season and went on to win a state championship.
No. 2 seed Maize nearly got its revenge in the rematch Friday, but the No. 3-seeded Indians overcame two late turnovers and connected for a game-winning score with under a minute to play, ending the Eagles’ season on its home turf with a 28-24 final.
