Burwell Basketball

After seeing them this summer at a team camp, not shocked. They had 5 guys and I am pretty sure 2 of them were in junior high....it seemed pretty bleak that they were going to be able to field a team this year.
 
It sounded like a couple of them got hurt in football, but they also have 20+ out for wrestling and couldn't get a few of them to move over to basketball to fill the team. I believe 1 or 2 of them also went to Ord.
 
This feels like a trend that is likely to continue in the Class D schools. Weather it be because schools have strong wrestling programs or just a culture of not participating in extracurriculars participation is decreasing quickly it seems.
 
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?
