Dane has also competed in UIL Social Studies and was a part of the Second Place team last year at State competition in 4A. Dane is working hard to go back to State this spring, I am proud of have him in class and I know he is going to accomplish great thing in his future.”

Larry Sterling, Boys PE Teacher and Varsity Basketball Coach, said, “Dane Piper is a Senior Forward on our Varsity Basketball Team. Dane is a two-year starter and was an All-District performer last season. The biggest thing that Dane provides our team is leadership and consistency. He leads by example, with his work ethic each day in practice and in games. He is very consistent in his attitude, focus, and effort, which is rare in a high school athlete. There is no doubt these characteristics will be a major reason why he becomes successful in whichever career path he pursues. He has been an absolute joy to coach.”
