Jayhawk tour packs the house

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN
A sellout crowd of 1,500 basketball fans from across Marion County, central Kansas and even neighboring states packed Brown Gymnasium Sunday afternoon as the KU Barnstorming Tour made its fourth appearance in Hillsboro. All-Americans and future NBA stars Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich headed the cast of Jayhawks who entertained the crowd. Sponsored by the Hillsboro Booster Club, the event featured basketball, a half-time auction of a Nick Collison jersey for $1,150, and plenty of fun for basketball enthusiasts of all ages. Twenty-two Marion County seniors provided the “competition” for the Jayhawk players.
