Link Academy is a boarding school just outside of Branson, Missouri. Known for its basketball teams, it won the 2023 Men's GEICO National Championship and the 2025 Nike EYBL Scholastic Conference Tournament Championship. It was founded by former college basketball player Adam Donyes.
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. In their second year, the Lions once again entered the tournament as the #4 seed, and won the overall championship title. 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). The 2024-2025 team earned the highest seed in Link Academy history, entering the 2025 Chipotle National Tournament as the #2 seed.
