Love Those Cougars!
0 CommentsI am so proud of our Covenant Life School varsity boys and girls basketball teams who BOTH won their championship games last Saturday night! Go Cougars! See photos and video below, and a write-up from Kris Marcantonio, the Middle School Principal and Athletic Director at CLS.
Cougars Sweep Basketball Championships
What a memory! Roughly 500 screaming fans dressed in black and gold were on hand at American University’s Bender Arena this past Saturday night to watch the Covenant Life School boys and girls varsity basketball teams win back-to-back championship games.
The Lady Cougars, behind third-year head coach Dave Marable, led for most of the game and held on for a 49-46 victory. As they’ve done all year, Dominique Seamon and Kristen Mstowski (tournament MVP) led the way in scoring, and Brielle Knowlton came strong during the final quarter to seal the win. The girls came into their fourth championship game in five years with an undefeated conference schedule and brought home their ninth conference basketball banner. The team is coached by Wayne Cates, Taylor Ferry, and Anna Marable.
The boys, led by fourth-year head coach Jim Lutz, came into their first conference championship game in nine years as the underdogs but rose to the challenge with Daniel Ferry and J.D. Garris (tournament MVP) leading the team in scoring. The guys refused to buckle under pressure in an intense game where Nick Riddlesburger and Andrew Melrose made key shots to hold onto a 61-58 win and bring home the first boys’ championship banner.
The boys are also coached by Bob Ferry. Both teams compete in the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference (PVAC).
What really sets these players apart, though, is their humility and servanthood. Josh highlighted this on Sunday morning when he referred to seeing one of the boy varsity players serving on the parking crew the morning after the championship win. Thank you to all the players, coaches, and fans for representing the Savior so well during the season and the championship games. We are grateful for the opportunity to play sports to the glory of God!
