While the Washington Wildcats and Schlagle Stallions basketball rivalry is one of the most hotly-contested in the State of Kansas, the two schools and programs came together for a 10-minute halftime ceremony to honor Wildcats girls basketball head coach Vivian Jordan.
Jordan, who suffers from cancer, has coached multiple sports at Washington High School.
Former players, current players and fellow employees presented Jordan letters and brief speeches of support.
The halftime ceremony was part of the Washington and Schlagle?s ?Coaches vs. Cancer? event.
Washington Wildcats head coach Eric King and Schlagle head coach David Johnson both wore tennis shoes while coaching during the boys? game.
The tennis shoe tradition began when college coaches started participating in the event.
Jordan was also presented a proclamation from Unified Government Mayor/CEO Joe Reardon ? one that proclaimed Tuesday?s date as ?Vivian Jordan Day in Kansas City, Kansas.?
A jersey with Jordan?s name will hang in Washington?s gymnasium.
A portion of the proceeds generated by those in attendance, a game that generated a sell-out at the school, will go towards a scholarship program in the name of Jordan.
