Involvement in athletics is an important part of the growth and development of young people. It helps the student-athlete gain a more thorough understanding of themselves, thereby helping them to have a better understanding of how to work with others in a group setting. In the middle school boys basketball program, we strive to use basketball to build camaraderie, competitiveness, and confidence in our players so they can be well equipped to serve God in this world filled with many challenges. The coaching staff is privileged to have the opportunity to work with young people in this capacity.
Murray Roseman ~ Middle School Boys Basketball Coach
The Flames showed a lot of confidence and poise in the defeat over the Lions. We were tested throughout the game, but didn’t panic. Trey showed much grit on the boards, Corban was stellar in running the offense and Waylon hit a buzzer beater at half time to shift the momentum of the game. Our scorers were as follows: Jack 3, Isaac 3, Brody 6, Waylon 6, Trey 6 and Corban 23. Congratulations Flames on winning your 5th consecutive championship! I will miss coaching this special group of guys!
