Burwell Basketball

Sargent and Burwell co-oped wrestling in the mid 2000’s and their nickname was the Horndogs.
Their 'mascot' looked like an animated recreation of those dog things from the OG Ghostbusters movie with some goofy, curly horns stuck on the side of a bulldog. It was possibly the greatest mascot in Nebraska Sports history.

And this is not a school culture thing...it is a problem with our society. It is what it is. Not saying you said it was - just adding on to your comment.
In Burwell's case I think it's neither. It has more to do with the fact their best boys athletes tend to choose wrestling over basketball and they just don't have all that many upperclassmen to go around between the two sports.

Their recent success in hoops was largely the product of getting a small group of talented players at the same time who have all now graduated.

We need more co-ops and consolidation if we want extra curricular activities to continue. It’s not fair to the kids.

Does Burwell, Taylor and Sargent all need their own K-12 schools? No. Would two schools work? Yes.

Why can’t Twin Loup and Burwell co-op sports and be a healthy C2?
Bring back the HornDogs!!!!!
