The Varsity Lady Lion season came to a close this week in postseason play. The girls came in as runner-up in the area, losing to an excellent Meek team. On Friday night they faced Athens Bible in the sub-regional game. It was a great game to watch and a great accomplishment to make it this far into the playoffs.

Although Friday's loss ended the season, the girls had a great run. More importantly, the girls showed great composure, sportsmanship, and Christlike character throughout! We are very proud of our Lady Lions!

The 6th Grade Boys advanced to the finals of the Cullman County Tournament where they faced an outstanding Good Hope team. Saturday night's final was an exciting game to watch! Fans cheered throughout the game and all the players did a great job.

The final score did not end in our favor, but the show of character and spirit of competition was unbeatable. This team had a phenomenal run with over 90 wins throughout their youth league playing years.

Congratulations to the team on a fantastic season! We are proud of you!

Both the Varsity and Youth basketball divisions earned some great accolades on the court this season. However, more importantly, the players are learning how to keep priorities in order and how to represent Christ.

A great example of this came into play this week with one of our senior guards. Miss Zoe Powell, an outstanding athlete and basketball player, was not present for the sub-regional game on Friday. Zoe, instead, boarded a plane and is currently serving with a missions team on the other side of the world in Greece. While she was definitely missed on the court, we know that her work for the Lord is the top priority!

The number of points scored in a ballgame are nothing compared to the number of souls that can be touched when we align our priorities with God's. This is winning!

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

-Colossians 3:23-24

Coach Parker and the golf teams are making plans for practices and matches. As a reminder, all players must complete their Dragonfly requirements prior to practice and competition.
