With one minute remaining in their careers, six seniors from Crane High School took the time to hug one another before the final horn.
They took a moment to themselves on the bench before time expired and Crane completed winning its fourth Class 2 girls basketball state championship in four years. Moments later, they stood together holding hands and holding up the last state championship trophy they would win together.
“I was excited, kind of sad that it came to an end — last time playing with all of them,” senior Justine Mahan said.
Crane’s four state championships go deeper than high school.
