With the girls’ basketball team set to go the state championship Saturday and the boys’ continuing their march to earn a state berth, the school seems to be taking notice.

Or we would like to think that. It seems as if playoff fever is barely hitting the school and city.

When Lone Star went to state for football, it seemed like the entire town of Frisco was in support of the team. You couldn’t walk around Stonebriar and other places in Frisco without hearing all about the the Rangers’ quest for state and Jason Shelley.

This week, not nearly as much. Sure there’s been some news coverage by professional media outlets, but here at school, are we hearing everybody on campus talk about Rebecca Lescay and Jordan Hamilton and the rest of the girls’ basketball team defeating top opponents in the state to reach the state final?

Not really. Instead we hear the same thing every single time; it’s Texas, football is a huge sport compared to basketball. No one really cares about girls’ basketball.

Well, honestly, it’s pretty disappointing how maybe half the school doesn’t know about how good our girls are. It’s pretty disappointing how the only sport we can get excited for is football, and not show support for wrestling, swimming and diving, and even academic honors.

I love football too. But it’s time for people at our school to rally around this historic team. If you can, make the trip to San Antonio and go support the girls as they try to make history. If you can’t, host a watch party, gather some friends, and support the girls’ from home.

Either way, it’s time for the school to step up and take notice, and support each team that has its success, and not just the one dominant sport in town.
