Volleyball Highlights
CCA Spikes Leesville
The JH A team played the first match against the Leesville Blue Jays on Thursday, September 19. The Patriots won the first set, fell to the Blue Jays in the second, and came back in the last to win the entire match. The B team also had a great game as they won two out three sets and won their match as well. It was a great night for the Patriots!
Volleyball Tri - Match at ElDorado
The CCA Patriots volleyball team played a very intense tri-match at El Dorado on Monday, September 16th. This was a very tough game for the Patriots as they were sadly defeated by both teams at the tri-match. Although the Patriots lost, they are showing improvement and doing a good job of playing together as a whole.
CCA Teacher Spotlight
Mrs. Sargent began her 2nd year of teaching here at CCA this year. The Lord gave her the spiritual gift and a love and passion for teaching. Mrs. Sargent’s favorite thing about teaching is being able to train and influence students systematically to be and become responsible, productive members of society who love Christ and will live that out. Mrs Sargent’s birthday is August 12, and she was saved in August of 1991, when she was 15 years old. Her favorite things to do at home are domestic things that include: cooking for her family, decorating her home, crocheting, working in her flower garden, and spending time with her family. Also, Mrs. Sargent’s favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sargent attends Northeast Baptist Church and her favorite Bible verse is Psalm. 91:4 “He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield.”
