Last week, the Virginia High School Hall of Fame announced their Class of 2021. It is sponsored by the Virginia High School League, Virginia’s primary organization of interscholastic sports among public high schools, and in recent years, some private schools as well. We aren’t a high school sports site, but when Kara Lawson, a former Washington Mystics player and Washington Wizards color analyst was named to their most recent class, we just have to give a shoutout!
Lawson is being honored primarily for her achievements in high school, not later on in college or professionally. Her accolades at that level alone are spectacular.
