In a perfect world this would be great, however that we do not live in. LC is not known for its academics. Also you have guidance counselors, especially one who takes no thought or interest in helping kids get any info about scholarships or help advise them. Those are all rigged as anyone who has attended and awards banquet has seen. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to get college paid for with a sports scholarship regardless how small the college may be. Not everyone can afford to pay for a four year degree out of pocket. So before you advice LC students to get academic scholarships (which would be great) step back and take a look at their academic and test scores and then go to an awards banquet. I'm telling you this whole administration is crooked. It needs to be fixed because the kids don't have a chance. Haven't for a long time.

Frist of all I will agree that this is far from a perfect world. With that said I would like to share this with you and everyone else. I have had 2 kids graduate from LC the frist in 2008 and the other in 2012. As every one knows these was bad years for Lawrence Co as far as the test scores and school ranking was for the state. But Both of my kids earned scholarships. My son’s was a full ride my daughters wasn’t a full ride but what she eraned sure did help a lot. And I for one have never been to a board of education meeting in my life or have I ever stepped a foot inside of the board office I have been to 2 awards nights just because my own was involved. But I did stay involved with my kids teachers at least once each querter just to make sure they was doing what they was suppose to be doing. Both the kids and the teachers yes it would be nice if the conselers would do there jobs but if they don’t then what’s stopping you as a parent from doing your own reserch and helping your kids your self. The time people spend on the computer on these recrational sites they propbbly could find a lot of needed help for collage. Oh yes both my kids was very involved in sports also. Football 3 year starter, softball, basketball and soccer all disctrict team. I guess really what I’m trying to say is if the kids are the best athletes in the state they still need the grades to get the full ride. And if they can’t make the grades in collage then they will be back home after the first semister.
This all is just my opinion I don’t know anyone personally on this sight and nothing is meant to be personal.
