“Is it them Yogi?’’
“It’s always them Boo Boo.
Part of it is they were state championships so likely good players
Looking at the kids if they are exceptional they need to play basketball somewhere that still has a team and they can be scouted
It’s the best or fastest or only ticket to $ success likely just guessing looking at the pics
Yes, who were the players?
I do think it’s a shame when a Christian school closes, because it helps keep young men directed and might help keep some out of crime.

No special insight, but it seems relevant to me that a successful Christian school should model their strategy around Christ and not around basketball.
I think I found the problem.
Same thing happened at my children’s school. The teacher/ basketball coach convinced the school administration to give scholarships to deserving city students, who just happened to be all boys of high school age who were good at basketball. It was all downhill after that. These new students refused to conform to the dress code, never did homework, and brought a new vocabulary to the school. They were disruptive to say the least. My son graduated that year, and I told the headmaster my daughter was not returning in the fall. Other parents did the same. After a long and respectable existence, the school closed the following year. That is the reason I am not a fan of school vouchers. One never fully appreciates what they get for free.
A consequence of sports worship. Common at at both religious (hesitate to say “Christian”) and secular schools in the south.
My Christian college is closing its doors this week forever after almost 100 years.
It has slowly slipped into modernism over the last couple of decades, but supposedly the main reason is financial issues. (My cousin said Title IX has been a big factor.)
Holy cow. I actually placed a business advertisement in their campus directory decades ago. I know nothing about this situation, but it’s a big campus.
