Manchester's Austin Wilson made the game-tying touchdown grab and Logan Boote knocked through the game-winning extra point with 31.5 second left in the fourth quarter as Manchester defeated previously undefeated Clinton 37-36 in the opening round of the MHSAA playoffs on Friday night.

The 8-yard completion from Ryan Stiles to Wilson capped a 94-yard drive. It was Manchester's lone lead in the second half.

"It was an absolutely unbelievable finish," Manchester coach Wes Gall said. "The kids played with their heart.... They had enthusiasm and passion that wasn't there (in the season-opening 32-14 loss at Clinton)."
