Football

The 7th/8th grade team has given it their all so far this season. Although they haven’t tasted victory, they've improved from game to game. They’ll be in action October 12th versus Dunham at Dunham.

The flag football team has also been busy. They are divided into two teams, Navy and Gold. You can catch them in action on Tuesdays or Wednesdays midweek and early mornings on Saturdays. Don’t miss the flag football team in action on October 12th. The Gold team faces Trinity Lutheran and Navy takes on Victory Christian Academy.

Softball

This year’s softball team missed vital practice time because of Hurricane Ida, but they are a determined group that will definitely show improvement throughout the year. Coached by Brett Bailey and former Episcopal standout Bailey Bourgeois, the softball team will play Dunham on October 11th at Dunham.
