For
the first time ever in Calvary Christian School's entire athletic history, a
Class D district championship title was won by our very own Lady Eagles!
It was a huge
night for us girls, even though we had beaten Catholic earlier in the season,
we knew it was going to be a tough battle, and that Catholic was going to play
even harder the second time around. There were mistakes made, but in the end
the final score on the score board is what mattered most.
This was a hard fought battle. The game didn't start
out so well in the beginning, and we ended the first quarter with Catholic in
the lead by only two points (10-12). Then the second quarter came around and we
decided to "pack it in the paint" and "attack". Catholic
started picking up fouls, and sure enough they kept bringing us to the line for
free throws. We maintained a lead throughout the game and finally finished with
an ending score of 55-62! Each girl on the team was focused and ready to play.
One of the keys to winning the game, was to play tough defense. We were more
in-shape than Catholic, so we were able to play hard and run up and down the
floor without getting “winded”. “The MCC girls were dragging down the floor at
some points last night and our girls still had energy to run and play tough D”
said Mrs. Watkins.
It was such an amazing feeling, to hold the District
Championship trophy with the team, and all of our coaches that have put so much
work into the team. We couldn't have pulled out the win, without the support of
our incredible fans, coaches, and God! Each girl kept a good testimony on the
court and maintained character as well.
"This was more than just a win for us,"
Coach Brad said, "It was for every athlete that has ever attended Calvary
Christian Schools."
Next mission, beat Mason County Eastern. We play
Tuesday, March 06, at Beal City Highschool.
