ATHLETICS Athletics generate another avenue for WCS students to learn essential lessons in teamwork, dedication, and accountability. Our Coaches act as Christian role models and reinforce the spiritual foundation taught in the classroom. A tradition of success allows us to mold champions with humility and drive. 44

Westbury Christian School athletes have a lot to celebrate following the achievements earned in the 2010-11 school year. In total, sixteen student athletes committed to continue their athletic careers on the collegiate level after receiving athletic scholarships in their respective sports. Eight programs - Volleyball, Girls and Boys Basketball, Track, Softball, Golf, Tennis, and Baseball - were represented in the TAPPS 4A post-season playoffs. Girls Basketball stand-out, 2011 WCS Valedictorian, and current Stanford Cardinal, Amber Orrange, was selected to play on both the WBCA and McDonald’s All-American teams. Amber also was named the 2011 TAPPS Athlete of The Year, a first for Westbury Christian School Athletics. Varsity Baseball players Cody Glenn and Dillon Thomas were selected in the 2011 MLB draft, another first for any Wildcat. “2011 was a successful year in Wildcat Athletics,” said WCS Athletic Director, Mr. Russell Carr. “The best news is we are only getting better!” To match our excellent athletic programs, premier facilities currently are under construction and will be available for practice and competition in the spring of 2012. Tremendous prayer and support have been put forth to further this ongoing effort, and we are thankful to now provide our student athletes a true Home Field Advantage! “The goal of the WCS athletic department is to reach kids through a different experience than can be achieved in the classroom or through Bible and Chapel. I think the coaches have done a great job of using their specific sport to supplement our 3-D model of education. It shows in the overall team and individual successes we've been blessed to earn at Westbury Christian School.” - Coach Carr
