Well, the soccer season is a third of the way over and both the Lady Rams and the Rams soccer teams have been impressive. The girls have started the season off with 4 wins and one loss, but will look to avenge that loss tomorrow (Thursday) when they host Covenant. The 8th graders have made a big impact for the Lady Rams, but the younger players have certainly held their own especially in the two wins this past week. The boys team, while unable to play as many games or practice too much, have been quietly improving and have a record of 1 win, 1 loss and 1 tie. The defense and the substitutes have been fantastic and the goals have been flowing in from Brian Cameron, Ricky Bethune, T.J. Bubar and T.J. Murray (the boys goalie, but has been scoring on free kicks of which he is 2 for 3). The boys return to action after Spring Break on Tuesday April 17th. I hope to see you there.
Don't forget the girls play tomorrow against Covenant!!
In Him,
Coach Neff

Soccer season is upon us!
Congratulations to the Lady Rams soccer team as they won their first game 2-0 over Providence Christian. A solid performance as Ally and Ashley scored the two goals and a very good game for Jessica Marshall in goal as she records a shut out (or in soccer terms, a clean sheet). The girls continue their season on Monday at home against Covenant and then again on Tuesday as the boys join them against FCI. Tuesday will be the boys first game so I hope everyone can make it out. Thanks,
In Him,

The Basketball Tournament
I would like to apologize for how long it has taken to post anything related to the results of the basketball tournament.
The girls played hard and won their first game in a very impressive performance against Covenant. Their following game was against Christ Lutheran, and although they played them close they lost in the end to set up another game with Covenant. Unfortunately, the Lady Rams run was stopped against Covenant the second time around and the Lady Rams finished 3rd in the Conference Tournament. Congratulations go the girls and Mrs. Fornell for their hard work and courageous performances throughout the season. (I unfortunately do not have stats for the girls games, sorry.) Thank you ladies for all of your effort.
Now, on to the boys. The Rams started off against the #1 seeded team FCI and lost in disappointing fashion. The next game against Cape Christian was mostly a breeze as the boys put a good performance all the way around. This put the Rams up against Christ Lutheran, whom the Rams had destroyed in their last meeting, but the game would not be as easy this time around. While ultimately boys came out the winners it was not as easy as we would have liked it to be and it took a little more energy than we would have liked. This put the Rams through to the finals where they would face FCI once more. This time was a little different as FCI were shocked as we came out stronger and hungrier for the win. At half time the Rams were only down by the score of 21-18 and should have had the lead had we hit our free throws. Yet, since it was only FCI's third game and our fourth we did not have the energy to beat FCI in the second half. The Rams finished in 2nd place and made FCI work hard for their 1st place trophy and we can't ask for more than that. The total stats for the whole tourney are listed below, but I would like to thank the team, anyone and everyone who helped out at some point time setting up the court or doing stats, and especially the parents. Thank you for a great season!
Kolby Mann: 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals
Chris Barr: 38 points, 22 rebounds, 7 steals, 2 blocks
T.J. Murray: 7 points, 32 rebounds, 5 steals, 2 blocks
R.J. Briggs: 2 points, 6 rebounds
Timmy Ross: 6 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal
Brandon Makar: 15 points, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block
John Sanchez: 22 points, 20 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block
Ricky Bethune: 10 points, 10 rebounds, 6 steals
Matt Hellier: 2 points, 3 rebounds
Zach Barnes: 2 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals

3 Games Recapped 2-26-07
Let me apologize for not posting last Friday's game earlier, but I went out of town literally right after the games. The Lady Rams lost a tough game to Christ Lutheran after having a half time lead. They scored 28 points with Caryn leading the scoring with 9. She also had 4 steals and a rebound. Aly added 4 points, 3 steals, and a rebound. Tiffany had a good game with 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals as did Jessica "Twitchy" who had 5 points, 4 rebounds, and a block. Casey came up with 2 points, 3 rebounds, and a steal, Angel added 2 points, and Ciera had a rebound and a steal.
The guys won convincingly 44-10. It was one of their best games of the season and everyone played well. While Chris Barr led the team in scoring again with 18 it was T.J. Murray who had the Player of the Games performance with 10 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 steals and unrelenting defense on the other teams big man. The rest of the stats are listed below:
Chris Barr: 18 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals
Kolby Mann: 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals
Ricky Bethune: 2 points, 2 steals, 1 rebound, 1 block
Brandon Makar: 4 points, 5 rebounds
Matt Hellier: 2 rebounds
John Sanchez: 4 points, 5 rebounds
Timmy Ross: 4 points
Today's game didn't go as well as the last one, but it was an improvement over the last time we played FCI. We scored more points and played better defensively but unfortunately didn't come away with the win. It's a tough call on the player of the game as everyone fought hard but I just don't know who to give it to. Here are the stats:
Chris Barr: 13 points, 2 steals, 4 rebounds
Kolby Mann: 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block
Ricky Bethune: 3 points, 4 rebounds
Brandon Makar: 2 rebounds, 1 steal
T.J. Murray: 6 points, 4 rebounds
John Sanchez: 4 rebounds
Matt Hellier: 1 rebound
Timmy Ross: 1 rebound

Rams Get Another Conference Win!!
The Rams came out victorious today in a 33-12 win over Cape Christian. It was another step in the right direction as the playoffs quickly approach. Chris Barr led the scoring with 12 points to go along with his 9 rebounds, a block, and a steal. By stats alone one would have to say that Chris Barr would be player of the game, but Brandon Makar did a great job of leading the team from the point and has really stepped up his game as of late. He had 3 points and 3 rebounds and a number of assists. Another player who has proved invaluable lately has been T.J. Murray. His aggressive play and physical rebounding has been a big help. He recorded 3 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. All three of these players could be player of the game. I certainly don't mean to leave anyone out though. Kolby Mann had a good game despite him being slightly injured. He had 4 points and 3 rebounds. Ricky's great awareness on defense was once again at its' best. He had 4 steals, 2 blocks, and 2 rebounds. Matt Hellier has been improving all the time and was second in the team in scoring with 5 points. He also had a steal and a rebound. John Sanchez and Timmy Ross, our big guys, also have been playing better and bigger every game and today was no exception. John had 4 points, 4 rebounds, and a block, while Timmy added 2 points and 5 rebounds.
Please come see the boys play on Friday at Christ Lutheran at 4:30 and get there early to cheer on the girls team who play at 3:30. I hope to see you there.
In Him,
Coach Neff
