The Campus boys basketball team was selected for the USD 261 Profile for April.

The Colts were undefeated and had just defeated Manhattan 66-50 in the 6A Tournament before KSHSAA decided to cancel the remaining state tournament games due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

“It was very sad how it ended and we felt that we played so well against Manhattan,” said Campus coach Chris Davis.  “Our goal was to win this thing and I liked our chances.  Our team was dialed in.”

“I feel for all of our kids.  I also feel for our school.  The support was off the charts.  The community of Haysville and Wichita was with this team from day one.  That was evident at Koch (Arena).”

Davis said this team had such a passion for winning and were unselfish in order to do so.

“They gave of themselves so that others could be successful,” Davis said. “It was a team that could score at every position.  It was also a deep team.  I sincerely looked forward to going to practice everyday.”

Even though Campus wasn’t officially crowned as state champions, Davis feels like this team will always be remembered as one due to how dominant they were.

Of the Colts’ 23 victories this season, 10 of them were by 20 points or more.

“I’m sure when they go back to their 20th reunion they will be state champions,” Davis said. “They will tell their kids and grandkids that in 2020 they won a state championship. How could you argue 23-0? “
