Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Emporia should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will challenge Manhattan on the road at 7:00 PM. After both teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
Everything went Emporia's way against Seaman last Friday as they made off with a 28-6 win. Senior Jace Stewart was the offensive standout of the match for Emporia, as he rushed for 76 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Manhattan put the finishing touches on their 3rd blowout victory of the season. Everything came up roses for them against Washburn Rural as the squad secured a 44-7 victory.
Their wins bumped Manhattan to 4-0 and Emporia to 2-2. With both Emporia and Manhattan swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
