There was a sea of pink last Friday night when Mangum and Merritt faced each other in the last regular season home game for the Tigers. Both teams are known for wearing orange and black, but this night was special as they use the game to raise funds for Coaches vs. Cancer.

Both teams wore pink t-shirts sponsored by Stockman’s Bank of Mangum. Between the two games buckets were passed, giving people the opportunity to donate Coaches vs. Cancer, with all the funds going to the American Cancer Society.

This year’s game was played in honor of Vickie Kenney, mother of Mangum boy’s basketball head coach, Jeff Carlisle. Vickie Kenney lost her battle with cancer last year.
