Our athletes are some of the fi nest in the world and have trained hard for this very moment.

There is a tremendous emphasis of faithful competition and we strive to glorify God with the talents He has provided. I hope that you will join me in congratulating these outstanding men and women and their accomplishments this season. As it says in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought the good fi ght, I have fi nished the race, I have kept the faith.” That is what makes our league special, as we have fought the good fi ght all fall, we are going to fi nish this race today and we have kept His faith.
