Grace Academy begins basketball It was a great beginning for the Grace Christian Academy Eagles last Tuesday night when they played their first junior varsity and varsity boys basketball games against the Tabernacle Eagles of Dallas. The newly enhanced Athletic Program for GCA is off to a great start with the second season of the year under way. The basketball program is composed of students enrolled at GCA and homeschool students from the community. This partnership has become a win-win for both groups of students. The JV boys provided a good start to the evening and played really well for their first game out. Even though it was a loss in the books they showed improvement from the first half to the second, while the varsity team showed a strong beginning and great showing in their 39-53 win. Leading the way was Taylor Heffron with a strong 16 points and leadership presence on the court. “In our team huddle we always begin every day with the motto ‘God First, Hard Work Second’ Our guys demonstrated just that during our games and I’m excited about this season” Daniel Woodard GCA’s Athletic Director commented after the game. The Eagles play next against Piedmont Charter Mon. Dec 10 in Gastonia.
