When thinking about athletes the first thing that usually does not come to mind is three piece suits and elegant dress. But, to celebrate their accomplishments and a hard fought season, the athletes of Evangel got together for their annual sports banquet. During the banquet, athletes are recognized for their commitment, dedication, and hard work. They put in countless hours of training and worked tirelessly to not only better themselves, but their teammates as well. What made this Banquet special was the relationship and bonds that these athletes shared with each other. True relationships are not formed over night; they take time to build and time to grow. They are rarely perfect. They have ups and downs and plenty of growing pains, but it is through these experiences that bonds are strengthened and lasting memories are made.

I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down. –Mia Hamm
For some, volleyball is just something that is played to pass the time by, for others it’s just a sport, but for the Lady Eagles it’s a life style. From day one, we knew that in order to accomplish our goals we would have to work harder and push ourselves further than we had any other year. Each and every practice our girls strove to be better than the day before. Their determination to become better volleyball players not only affected the way they practiced and played, but challenged everyone to step up their game. As a result our girls have had one of the best seasons ever.
-Coach Joe
Accomplishments:
– Martin Luther Volleyball Tournament Champions
– Nine wins and one loss during the regular season (Including non-league games)

Girls Volleyball
This year the Girls Varsity Volleyball team is off to a great start, picking up right where they left off last year. Lead by captains Becky Wong & Karas Bonifas the Lady Eagles defeated Berkeley Carroll (2-1) and Staten Island Academy (2-0) to start off their season. The Lady Eagles are looking forward to Thursday’s game against Long Island Lutheran.
I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion by Mia Hamm. After an intense and exciting year, members of our sports teams came together to celebrate their accomplishments and reflect on all the, “funny” moments they had throughout the year. We started off our night with lots of laughter, watching slideshows of the athletes when they were younger. After laughing at each other’s baby pictures, we opened up the microphone to anyone that had a funny story about the team; needless to say many took this opportunity. Muhammad Ali once said, “Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision.” Our athletes have something that many others lack and that is a genuine passion and love for the game. They play not because of the recognition that it brings, but because it is an extension and expression of whom they are. I thank God for my Athletes and all that they have taught me. They could not have made my first year as Athletics Director any better then it already was.
Goooooooo EAGLES! Cheering, Pompoms, Pictures Flashing, Team Members, and Plays were all part of our Pep Rally. this was all part of our Spirit Week Students in 6-12 grades had very special days the week of November 17-21. Each day students represented a different theme: Monday – Favorite Sports Team, Tuesday – Funny Hat and Feet Day, Wednesday – Twin Day, Thursday – School Spirit, Friday – Country Day (dress in the colors of your nationality). Elementary School enjoyed: Wednesday – Favorite Color Day, Thursday– Favorite Stuffed Animal, Friday – Funny Feet And Hat Day.
On Thursday, during the latter half of the c day, Middle School and High ch gathered in the gym for our Pep Rally. All our team members were hailed and there were fun contests and prizes given out. This was a great way to get us ready for the first double-header of the year.
