Basketball Is King
Basketball is by far the most popular sport at LRC. The team is usually a contender and is relatively well-followed by most. For years, the team was guided by Coach Lang, who went above and beyond as both a coach and a character builder. He passed away unexpectedly in 2010 but will forever be remembered as one of the best in the business.
The school also has baseball, soccer, volleyball, and a few other teams. There is no football team. Although there are plenty of varsity sports, intramurals are nearly impossible to come by. The school used to offer an elective course in basketball but it disappeared in recent years.
There is one gym on campus, shared by athletes and non-athletes. It may not be large, but it offers just about anything you could want, from free weights and machines (for lifters) to cardio machines (a few each of bikes, treadmills, and ellipticals). A large portion of the campus works out; you'll almost always find folks you know when you hit the gym. There are no fees involved and the gym is open exclusively to LRC students and faculty. If you like to run, there is an indoor track. Sadly, the school does not offer a pool.
Athletic facilities are either directly on campus or adjacent to it (in the case of the soccer field and baseball fields). They're pretty comparable to a mid-size high school in terms of seating.
