Emporia High football hits the road for the final time in the regular season Friday night, traveling to Manhattan to take on the Indians.<\/p>\n

The matchup features two teams heading in opposite directions.<\/p>\n

After winning their first two games of the season, the Spartans have dropped three straight, including a 24-8 loss to Washburn Rural last Friday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Manhattan has won each of its last three games by an average margin of nearly 40 points.<\/p>\n

The Indians also dominated last year\u2019s meeting, winning 41-6 after outscoring Emporia 27-nothing over the final three quarters.<\/p>\n

Head coach Daniel Goodman remembers that night.<\/p>\n

Junior Oliver Kline was all over the field against Washburn Rural. He led the Black and Red with nine tackles, including a sack and a forced fumble.<\/p>\n

Kline says the coaching staff has stressed the challenge Manhattan presents.<\/p>\n

Goodman says the Indians\u2019 biggest strength is their ability to play as a team, rather than relying on one or two standout players.<\/p>\n
