Family affair
Placeholder Image
For the Central Plains High School girls and St. John-Hudson boys, it was truly a family affair after they swept state basketball championships in Manhattan Saturday.The support and pride of these communities made lifetime memories for both school districts. The Lady Oilers beat Winchester-Jefferson County North 47-45 to capture the Class 2A state title on Taylor Rolfs’ game-winning field goal. Central Plains head coach Pat Stiles shared a precious postgame moment with his daughter, Jackie Stiles — the finest girls basketball player I’ve ever seen.
