Briarwood’s 3-point storm stuns Brookwood

Eighteen 3-pointers in one game—Briarwood Christian’s basketball team put on an absolute shooting clinic at Brookwood, cruising to an 81-49 win. The Lions’ offense was on fire from the opening tip, with Drew Mears draining seven triples and leading five players in double figures. The pace never let up, and by halftime, Briarwood had built a commanding lead that only grew. For fans who love fast-paced, high-scoring hoops, this was a game to remember. What do you think makes a team catch fire like this? Is it pure skill, team chemistry, or something else? #Education #K12 #BriarwoodLions

LSU Tiger Girls' Loss Sparks Co-Ed Dance Drama

LSU Tiger Girls went viral again at the UDA Nationals, but lost the Hip Hop crown to UNLV—cue the internet debate! UNLV’s co-ed squad (with 10 guys) took the win, and now everyone’s arguing: should dance competitions split by gender? Some say the guys’ athletic moves gave UNLV the edge, others think LSU was robbed. Either way, the Tiger Girls’ Kendrick mashup broke the internet, even without the trophy. #Education #College #UDANationals

Cincinnati’s college prep program fights to survive

Losing federal funding hasn’t stopped Cincinnati Youth Collaborative from pushing forward with college prep support for local students. Even after the GEAR UP program’s funding was abruptly cut, CYC rallied community partners and resources to make sure students at Mt. Healthy and North College Hill can still get the guidance they need through 2026. Now, they’re building a new, locally funded version—Next Level Pathways—to keep the dream alive. It’s a big shift from federal to community support, and it raises the question: Should vital programs like this rely on local fundraising, or should federal backing be guaranteed? #Education #College #Cincinnati

Fort Worth schools face tough choices ahead

Fort Worth’s public schools are closing 18 campuses by 2029, but what’s really striking is that while the city keeps growing, student enrollment is dropping fast. Some schools like Monnig and Daggett Middle are only half full, and families are left wondering what comes next. Parents are urging district leaders to focus on the most vulnerable kids as decisions are made. With a new state-appointed board coming in, past choices could even be reversed. How do you think these changes will impact our neighborhoods and kids’ futures? #Education #FortWorth #FWISD
