Some say that Lipan's school emphasizes basketball too much. You know, not everyone is inclined towards sports. So, what might be done? Is it just the limits of the school's current size or the need for more budget resources?A recent graduate, actually a varsity starter, said to me, "there's more to life than basketball. After graduation, you've got to move on! That stuff was sooo high school." I cringed, but understood what he was saying. But, then he'd gotten the full benefit of being one of the "team." Anyone feel strong enough to reflect on the Pros and Cons? "Annonymous comments" work well in a situation like this.
I know one guy who clearly has his perspective skewed! For proof, go no further than WLJ's blog!

Basketball was a great motivator for me, and I learned the value of TEAM. Yes, there is a lot of emphasis on bball in Lipan. I have also noticed more emphasis on academics over the last few years. I know of no one making a living playing basketball (grads), but there are some who have gone into coaching, etc. Yes, there is more to life than basketball. It's up to each individual to find their own niche in life after graduation. It is sometimes hard for a teenager to see the big picture until after they gain a few years of maturity.
