Manhattan led 16-0 after one and 38-0 at halftime. The Indians extended their lead to 45-0 which triggered a running clock the final 19 plus minutes of the contest.
Emporia High recorded 156 yards of total offense but could not get on the scoreboard. Micah Gray finished 11 of 16 for 71 yards with his top receiver being Owen Ruge hauling in three receptions for 26 yards. Rylan Crowell had 18 carries for 56 yards.
