As a parent at McKinney High I witnessed Lee and Lipka come into the program and make their mark as freshman. There was some doubt at first as to whether or not they would be able to play at the varsity level, they squashed all the doubts quite quickly. For the typical freshman playing on the the freshman team is probably the best option but there are exceptions to every rule. Some athletes strive playing against higher competition and for those players playing on the varsity will only make them better. It should be noted that as freshmen Lipka was the district offensive MVP and Lee was newcomer of the year. Again they are exceptions as opposed to normalities
