With the conclusion of the basketball season, the Kansas State High School Activities Association has announced the 2011 Sportsmanship Awards. All 112 teams who qualified for the state tournament were eligible for the awards.
If a team played in only the first day of the tournament, that school was eligible to win a certificate. Schools who played in all three days of the tournament were eligible to receive a plaque, with the cheerleaders eligible to receive medals.
