A Lausanne Legend

Lesa Mears announced her retirement from coaching after a 38-year career and nine years leading the Lynx Varsity Girls Basketball team.

As Mears looks back on her time at Lausanne and coaching a game that has grown in style and popularity, she said the relationships forged on the court mean the most.

“I have seen the women’s game grow into one that is played just like the men’s game,” said Mears. “I’ve experienced a 64-game district winning streak, many championships and also games where my teams were beaten badly. Through it all, the most important thing that I will carry with me forever are the relationships built along the way.”
