The Sophomore Volleyball Team takes Second Place in the Brenham Christian Tournament last weekend (8/12-8/14).

Tournament play began on Thursday night, August 12th, where the Sophomore Volleyball Team went up against the BCA JV Volleyball Team. The ladies got of to a great start by winning the first game 25-20, and then lost the second game by a close 21-25.

The next match of the night was extremely tough as the Sophomore VB Team went up against the toughest team in the tournament-Faith Academy Bellville Varsity. In the first game, the Lady Eagles put up a good fight and lost 15-25. However, in the second game the ladies came out determined and had an amazing victory of 29-27 under the coaching of Heather Falco.

On Saturday, May 29, the Junior and Senior boys competed at the sand volleyball courts. We had a great turnour and lots of fun. There were a series of three games and they were a blast to watch. Both sides played hard and in the end the Senior Boys were victorious.

Also, the Junior and Senior girls competed on the football field. This too was a great game. Although the game was flag football, the girls showed they were plenty tough. Both the Juniors and Seniors played hard but in the end the Junior girls were victorious.

On Friday evening, May 21 we held our Varsity Spring Sports Celebration honoring Varsity athletes in Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Softball, Swimming and Track. The auction brought in over $7,800 total for those specific sports programs.
