This year's sports banquet was held on May 16, 2008. The theme was "Kings and Queens of the Court." The kids on the Volleyball, Basketball and Soccer teams really enjoy this night as they are honored for their achievements in the area of athletics. This year our JV Volleyball team won the JV tournament and brought home our first ever JV Championship. They were very excited. Our Varsity Boy Basketball team made it to the Championship game against the North Valley Bulldogs but fell in a very hard game. We were so proud of them as this is a team from a school that is much bigger than ours and had a style and game that we had not played very much. Although they were disappointed, as we were the reigning champions from last year, they all knew that they had played a well fought game and had done their very best. The soccer team had a great year as well as the Varsity Volleyball team. We are anticipating great things to come in the next year.
This first picture was the back drop for the pictures the kids took of each other and their teams. They had so much fun with the props and decorations. 
The awards table...
Here is Dad giving a word of challenge to the players and reminding them that Faith Baptist Academy is more than just sports and that if we loose our focus from being on the Lord that the sports would be the first thing to go. This was serious coming from the Eagles number one fan. He loves these kids and it is evident in his support of their endeavors. I am thankful for a dad who has put his heart into this ministry and a pastor who loves the people that God has given him.
The next three pictures are banners that Mrs. Jones, a lady in our church, made for each of the Championships or special awards that each team has achieved. This is something special has it had been over 20 years before our school was even a team to be thought of as a contender. We used to joke when I was in high school that they just invited us to the tournament so that they would have at least one team they knew they could beat. Well, things have changed and it is so much fun. May we never forget where we came from.
For some reason the picture of the table center pieces did not get downloaded, but we took a few volleyballs, basketballs, and soccer balls and placed them in a little stand and then put a crown on them. It doesn't sound a cute as it was but I hope that you get the picture. Thanks for stopping by and checking in with us. Have a great day!!!
