Crossroads

 It was the final trek of regular season play. The Varsity Warriors and the Boys Middle School teams headed to Winchester, Virginia on Thursday to play the Crossroad Cougars. This was the second meeting for both teams. The Lady Warriors finished their regular season strong. They controlled the scoreboard the entire game.
 The Cougars only led after making the first bucket of the game. Once again team play was the key to the Warrior's success with 7 different girls having an assist. Rebecca dished out 4 and Mary had 3 for the night. On defense the girls came up with numerous hustle plays that held their opponents to only 10 pts. Ashley Kelly was all over the place as she raked in 5 steals. On the boards the Warriors were led by Rebecca with 9 rebounds
  Sarah and Maggie each had 7. The girls look forward to post season play. They have won 5 of the last 6 games to make their regular season record 11-7. On Monday, the Lady Warriors take on Arlington Baptist as part of the Maryland Christian Schools Tournament. The game will be played at New Life Christian School, tip off at 6:00pm. Come out and support the Lady Warriors!

 The Warriors defeated Crossroads Christian Academy 35-16 in a game that saw everyone getting some good playing time. The boys started off red hot as they led at the end of the 1st quarter 20-0 and 29-4 at the end of the 1st half.
 The starters didn’t even work up a sweat as many played only a quarter. This allowed more playing time for the other Warriors. The Warriors continued to lead after three quarters 35-7 and finished the game strong.
 Chris Lamont was the leading scorer with 9 points and the rest of the scoring was spread out among 8 other boys: Caleb Abel, Josiah Carstens, John Koffman, and Nathan Wright with 4 points each; Jacob Hughes and Daniel Passarelli with 3; and Jonathan Kiewit and Andrew Leaman (his first basket of the season) with 2. The 12-0 Warriors close out their season February 24 against the Loudoun County Patriots, who they beat 26-25 earlier in the month.
 The Warriors closed out their inaugural season with a game against the Loudoun County Patriots, another homeschooling team.
 This was a rematch of a game played earlier in the month. As with the first game, the Warriors started strong, leading 10-4 at the end of the 1st quarter and 23-8 at halftime. Like the previous game against Crossroads Christian Academy, all the boys got quality court time.
 The Warriors continued to play well in the 2nd half, leading 27-19 at the end of the 3rd quarter and ending up 33-25 victors. Leading scorers for the team were Chris Lamont (8 points), Daniel Passarelli (7 points), and John Koffman (6 points). Other scorers included Jacob Hughes (4 points), and Caleb Abel, Josiah Carstens, Andrew Leaman, and Christopher Leao each with 2 points.
 The boys finished the season a perfect 13-0 but most importantly, demonstrated Christ-like character in every game. Coach Phil and Coach Drew couldn’t be prouder of the boys! Way to go Warriors!
Thanks to Emily Passarelli for taking the photos at the boys Crossroads game and to Rich Lamont for capturing the Loudon County Patriots game.
