Warsaw star Kyle Mangas knocking on the door of NBA dream By NATHAN PACE Staff Writer The past year has seen Warsaw Community High School alumnus, Kyle Mangas, continue to
pursue his NBA dream and he is confident all the work he has done has made him better at a basketball. Mangas finished his second season in the NBA G League with the Austin Spurs and played in Canada for the Vancouver Bandits. “Vancouver is an amazing city, lots to do,” Mangas said. “It’s beautiful. It’s right on the water, lush green mountains. We thought it could be good to mix it up and try something different.” Mangas graduated from WCHS in 2017 and went on to have a record breaking tenure at Indiana Wesleyan University at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics level. Mangas was named NAIA Men’s Basketball Player of the year twice as he took the award in 2020 and 2021. Continued on page 3
