Max Manthou
4 Time 4A
State Champion

BETC Junior Max Manthou is currently a senior at Kentwood High School and will be attending the University of Washington in the fall on a tennis/academic scholarship. Max has just done what no one has ever done before and that was to win 4 consecutive 4A State Tennis Championships. Couple that with a basketball state championship earlier this year and Max has 5 state championships! Chris Egan with King 5 News was at BETC filming Max and his coach and BETC Pro Jesse Walter and the story aired Monday, June 7th. The story is now online at the link provided.

There was a cool article on Max (aka The Little Big Man) in the ESPN junior version called RISE - Issues are available in the mezzanine area at BETC.

:-) Okay, the photo to the left was when he was about 10 but fun to reflect on!
