A HIGHER CALLING

Fran Belibi has captured the imagination of basketball fans with her astounding dunks. But the Stanford-bound star dreams of a different destiny.

Students file into the gym at Regis Jesuit High School on a February night in Aurora, Colorado. Their feet, wet from the beginnings of snow, slide across the bleachers as they crowd into the student section. There is a hockey game taking place a few miles down the road, but the biggest draw for the senior boys in the front row is Fran Belibi. They run down her stats and debate the probability of whether she'll dunk. It's a Friday night, the second round of the state playoffs and one of her final home games before she heads to Stanford, so a dunk, they figure, isn't too much of a stretch.
