CENTENNIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
MARCH MADNESS PROGRAM
March Madness is a 3 on 3 Basketball tournament held each year throughout the Centennial
School District. Each elementary school holds individual boys and girls tournaments for 4 th
and 5th graders throughout February and March. After the champions of each school are
crowned, we hold a District Championship. (Format to be determined due to the consolidation
of schools) We have two Championship Basketballs that have been inscribed with each year’s
winners and passed around from school to school since the district-wide tournaments began.
Additional Notes about March Madness:
 2013 is the 16th Year of March Madness in Centennial.
 March Madness started at Davis School in 1998. (Approximately 60
Students)
 Expanded to Stackpole School in 2000. (Approximately 150 Students)
 First Inter-District Championship held in 2000. (Davis vs. Stackpole)
 Expanded to McDonald School in 2002. (Approximately 300 Students)
 Expanded to all 6 Elementary Schools in 2004 (Approximately 600
Students)
 The program has consistently drawn between 500-600 students a
year since 2004.
 Each school has their own trophy celebration (Medals at Willow Dale)
and awards trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in their school
tournaments.
 Additionally, each school awards a Sportsmanship Award for one girl
and one boy. (The most important award, in my opinion.)
 Each participant has the opportunity to purchase a t-shirt
commemorating their experience.
