Here’s a look at all that’s going on in the SBCA Athletic Department this month. Thank you to all of our parents who faithfully bring their children to practices and games and volunteer their time. We’re truly blessed to have such a supportive SBCA family.
Volleyball
Our Lady Knights have been building their volleyball program from scratch and are committed to being in the final four in their conference. They have improved every game and are continuing to work in the offseason. Although the team suffered a number of injuries, our younger players stepped up to finish our season strong. This season showed just how talented our Lady Knights really are. A few of the middle school girls even earned conference recognition from the Panhandle Christian Conference (PCC).
All-Conference (CMSAA): Annah Powell
PCC Varsity All-Conference: Natalee Gulledge
Some of our girls have made Pleasure Island Storm Volleyball travel teams and will be continuing to develop their skills at the next level!
