Huegerich receives Sportsmanship Award at Girls State Tournament

 DES MOINES -- Mike Huegerich of Exira received the Iowa Farm Bureau Sportsmanship Award at the Girls State Basketball Tournament on February 27, representing the community of Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton.
 A fan from each school participating in the tournament was presented a sportsmanship award prior to the team’s first-round game. State-qualifying schools were asked to identify one spectator who epitomizes good sportsmanship and decorum for the entire school and community. Huegerich was recognized at center court inside Wells Fargo Arena and received an award certificate. In addition, each school will receive a grant of $250 to be directed to its scholarship fund for creation of a scholarship toward the post-secondary education of one or more female students.
