For the foreseeable future, the Kansas 6A girls’ golf championship trophy will have a navy and red reflection in the hallways of Manhattan High School.
In runaway fashion, the Manhattan High girls’ golf squad clinched the state championship title, carding a team total of 593 strokes — 29 strokes ahead of runner-up Shawnee Mission East.
