Thank You 2A Supporters! Congratulations to Belleville Boys and Smith Center Girls on taking home the Championship trophies for 2A! Manhattan is proud to be the host site for this basketball tournament for the past 23 years. This year, John and Mildred Lindholm were recognized as our first 2A team host emeriti. John and Mildred have volunteered in a variety of positions with 2A since 1993. Their dedication and continued support to the youth of Kansas, the community of Manhattan and their passion
for high school basketball is greatly appreciated. They were recognized on Championship Day with a certificate of appreciation and a standing ovation from the crowd. The success of 2A is due to many dedicated volunteers and businesses working together to provide teams, schools and visiting communities a memorable experience. Thanks to each of you for your dedication to March Madness, high school style! Continued on page 2
