Lions Basketball
The Lions basketball program was started in 2011 for the purpose of giving homeschool students the opportunity to play competitive basketball. The program has steadily grown over the years and been blessed to achieve a great deal of on-the-court success. In the 2018/19 season the boys varsity team won the National Association of Christian Athletics (NACA) Division 6 National Championship. In the 2019/20 season, the Lions boys varsity team won the Mid-South Homeschool Athletic Conference (MHAC) championship and repeated as NACA Division 6 National champions … not an easy accomplishment. And most recently in the 2022-2023 season, the boys varsity team took 2nd place in the NACA Division 8 National Championship. But, the program is not just about on court success, it also strives to help parents grow their students into responsible adults with excellent character. The program does this by making sure the players work hard at practice, compete with good sportsmanship, and are confronted with the reality of God. The program believes that whatever is done should be done to the glory of God exclusively.
