Davidson seeks school board seat amid NCAA official ties
A reader questions if Jack Davidson running for Lawrence school board is the same person who sought the Kansas State Board of Education last year and lost to John Bacon. Ed Hightower, once a key 1988 NCAA final official, has reduced schedules while serving Edwardsville Illinois schools. KU autographed basketballs are sold by Parrott Complex for 75 in person or 80 shipped, with proceeds to charity.
