Yesterday the the boys team suffered a difficult defeat at the hands of Florida Christian Institute 41-19. Unfortunately the numbers don't tell the whole story as the game was closer than the scoreline shows. Player of the game was Kolby Mann who had a great defensive game and also added 4 points. He showed great confidence to step in and play point guard when Chris Barr needed a rest. Chris led the team in scoring for the third game in a row with 9 points. He also had 4 rebounds, a couple of steals and a block. The other stats are as follows:
T.J. Murray: 4 steals, 4 rebounds
Zach Barnes: 2 steals, 2 rebounds
Brandon Makar: 2 rebounds
Ricky Bethune: 4 points, 2 steals, and 2 rebounds
John Sanchez: 2 points, 3 rebounds
R.J. Briggs: 2 steals, 1 rebound
All of the guys played hard and showed great attitude once again. On Monday the girls play away at Covenant at 3:30 and on Tuesday the boys play at home against Cape Christian at 3:30. I hope to see everyone there.
In Him,
Joshua Neff

Once again an updated schedule
This is once again an updated schedule. Please note there are a few changes. I hope that this will be the last time we have to make changes to the schedule. Also, if there are any parents who are willing to help out with the scoreboard and stats at either the girls or guys games please let me know as we could really use the help. Thank you and please check all the other stories farther down on this page.

Basketball 1-16-07 Recap
Congratulations to the Good Shepherd Boys Basketball team as they started their new year off with a great team victory over Community Christian of Port Charlotte to take their record to 1-1. While Player of the Game Chris Barr led the way with a great offensive night with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and four steals the whole team contributed to a great defensive effort. Ricky, Kolby, R.J., and Zach gave the Rams the speed and aggressiveness that caused many turnovers while Brandon, John, and Timmy gave us the size inside to constantly make it difficult for the other team to get rebounds and take easy shots. Congratulations also go to Destin for playing his first game of basketball today and doing a sound job and contributing to the team. Please come see the boys battle it out against FCI this Thursday at 3:30 in what should be a high energy up tempo affair. Here are the rest of the stats:
Ricky=2pts., 3 steals, and 1 rebound
Kolby=5pts., 2 steals, and 2 rebounds
R.J.=3 steals
Brandon=3 rebounds
Zach=4 steals and 2 rebounds
John=4 rebounds
TJ=2 steals and 2 rebounds
Unfortunately the girls team didn't fare as well today against the solid Community Christian of Port Charlotte girls team. While the girls did fall to a record of 1-1 they can certainly hold their heads up high with the effort they put in. With that kind of effort the wins will come. Caryn collected 3 steals and 6 points while Allie also added 3 points and 7 rebounds. Jessica Cotrill, also known as "Twitchy", contributed with 2 rebounds, a steal, and 4 points. Congratulations to all the girls for their determination as they never gave up at any point during the game.
Finally I would like to congratulate and thank all of our players, coaching staff, and parents for showing class and a Christ like attitude during, in between, and after the games. I am especially impressed by our student athletes for acting in a way that I can truly say I felt was honoring to God. Thank you.
In Him,
Coach Neff
P.S.
The updated schedule will be posted sometime Wednesday, hopefully early morning. Thanks.

Lacrosse Bonus Questions
These are the bonus questions that will be asked on your test in a few weeks. Since our overall knowledge of lacrosse is limited you can see the questions and then do a little research for your upcoming test for these bonus questions. Here they are.
1. Who were this past seasons NCAA Division 1 men's lacrosse champions?
2. Who were this past seasons NCAA Division 1 women's lacrosse champions?
3. Name 2 companies that make lacrosse only equipment.
4. Name the two professional lacrosse leagues.
These are the bonus questions. There are four this time so if you can get the answers to all four it could be really helpful. Good luck.

Edit
I want to apologize for incorrectly posting the date of the girls first game. It will be Monday the 9th at 3:30 p.m. Check here after the game for the score and stats. Thanks.
Also, as we are currently playing lacrosse in P.E., if you would like to buy a lacrosse stick they can be purchased at Play it Again sports in Fort Myers. It certainly is not required but if you (the student) or your child show a lot of interest in the sport it might be fun for them to have a stick they can play with at home.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
