Link Academy is a boarding school just outside of Branson, Missouri.[1][2] Known for its basketball teams, it won the 2023 Men's GEICO National Championship[3] and the 2025 Nike EYBL Scholastic Conference Tournament Championship.[4] It was founded by former college basketball player Adam Donyes.[5]
National championship history
In Link Academy's inaugural year, the high school team secured the #4 seed in the 2022 GEICO National Championships and finished the tournament as the runner-ups.[6] In their second year, the Lions once again entered the tournament as the #4 seed, and won the overall championship title.[7] The Lions entered the 2023-2024 Chipotle National Championship Tournament (successor to the GEICO National Championships) as the #6 seed, and became the sole high school program to make the semi-finals for three seasons in a row (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024).[8] The 2024-2025 team earned the highest seed in Link Academy history, entering the 2025 Chipotle National Tournament as the #2 seed.[9]
