Dear young athletes- keep this photo saved to your phone and show the next person who says you have to focus on one sport in HS. The amount of kids I’ve heard say “I can’t risk getting hurt” or “my coach won’t let me” drives me crazy. You get one shot to be a HS athlete.

The Pelicans are 46-54 in their last 100 home games. And yet, in 2025 they had higher home attendance than the Pacers, Grizzlies, Clippers and Hawks. In 2024, they beat MEM and IND in total attendance, and were 24th in avg. In those 2 seasons, NO went 35-46 at home.
