JV girls basketball team displays excellence-spirtually, academically, and socially

The JV girls basketball team beat American Heritage Plantation 46-42 on Saturday. The girls came back from a 30-13 deficit and pulled out the win to improve to 10-1. CCA coach Sean Fryer expressed his appreciation and remained focused on the teams goals, "We were able to pray with them after the game and for one of the girls who hurt her ankle".  The following article was posted on the Miami Herald Broward Youth Sports website...

Calvary JV hoops doing well

The Calvary Christian Academy Eagles girls’ junior varsity basketball team has one focus this season - excellence. That means excellence in all aspects of their lives, not just basketball.
At the beginning of the season, Coach Sean Fryer gave all the girls a goal sheet, and they had to write down their academic, home, social, basketball and spiritual goals for the season.
“I plan on holding each of these girls to the goals they wrote down,” Fryer said.
With an average scoring differential of 21 points per game, the Eagles (6-1) are led by freshman point guard and team captain Jessica Kreisel (14 points per game) and team co-captain Faith Nazario, a defensive specialist. Both have contributed on the JV and varsity teams.
In their JV absence, other players stepped up.
"I’m so proud of all of my girls,” Fryer said. “We try to have excellence in all we do and honor God through that. Matthew 5:16 says to ‘let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven,’ and that is what we try to do.”
