According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 2:25 p.m. Nov. 29 on Southtown Road, just north of K-99. Troopers say the driver, identified as Chestina N.

Manhattan High football replanted its flag on top of Kansas 6A, shutting out the East’s Olathe Northwest 27-0 on a chilly, windy Saturday afternoon at Emporia State’s Welch Stadium.

Manhattan High football has been here before. Olathe Northwest has never been here. But when the two teams meet Saturday afternoon in Emporia for the Class 6A state championship, both will arrive believing they can walk away with a trophy. For Manhattan (10–2), this marks the program’s third title-game appearance in four seasons, a run that has firmly reestablished the Indians as one of Kansas’ premier powers. For Olathe Northwest (9–3), it’s a breakthrough moment — the school’s first-ever state championship appearance after a late-season surge that included last week’s 42–28 upset of two-time defending champion Gardner Edgerton. The Ravens…
