LaVetter's 1978 team went 28-0 and is often considered the leading boys high school basketball team in Tucson history.

Greg Hansen Roland LaVetter, who coached Pueblo High School to back-to-back state basketball championships in 1977 and 1978, died Saturday in Tucson. He was 82.

“Without a doubt, everything I learned — and not just in basketball, but in life — came from Pueblo and what Coach taught me,’’ Lever said in 1988. “The things he started there still carry over." "The idea of going out on top never occurred to me," LaVetter said that spring."That’s an ego thing. I’ve never been in coaching for an ego. I’ve been coaching because I love the idea."

Vermont girls volleyball players banned from locker room after objection to transgender student: ReportA Vermont high school volleyball player says members of her team were banned from the high school locker room after objecting to changing with a transgender student. Nuts. I feel bad for the girls who are forced to change in front of boys. If I were a parent there I wouldn't allow my girl to be a part of that. Girls need to start boycotting these teams etc. If every on the team walks out the school might get the hint.
