10/13 Faith Bible Falcons vs. Life Christian Lions
Tuesday, October 13th at Forest Hills
Lutheran the Faith Bible Falcons and the Life Christian Lions battled a
tough fought match. The night was dedicated to raising Breast Cancer
awareness, and the teams showed up wearing pink jerseys, pink hair bows,
and even pink socks. The crowd and fans, too, wore all pink. After the
match, the two teams had dinner
together and bonded with each other.
During the match, the Falcons scored
a total of 26 kills, Madeleine Hood and Maile Kam with the majority of
them. Also during the game, the girls picked up a total of 17 digs from
the Lions’ hitters. Their serving average was 95/100% for the whole team
and hitting average was
.250/.300, in other words it was a
fantastic game for the Falcons. The Falcons pushed through for the whole
match and really relied on what they learned in their practices, and in
the end it payed off. We won in three sets with scores of
It was a great night even beyond the game of volleyball as someone wrote the following letter to Jackie Arnold, Faith's head coach following the "Dig Pink Night."
“Hi. I just wanted to thank you
again for putting Dig Pink together. Our neighbor, whom I had asked
about inviting, came and had a great time!! Even though she is a
wonderful woman and a strong survivor of cancer, conversations about God
have always been difficult with her. Last night opened the door to have
the most open faith conversation we have ever had! I know that seeing
Christians support a cause so meaningful to her and hearing it prayed
over softened her heart and opened the door. She even made a comment of
surprise about how the other team was invited to the meal afterwards.
She saw followers of Christ in such a positive way last night and we
were able to talk about why there are so many professing Christians who
don't demonstrate God's love (which has been a big issue for her). I am
so grateful for last night! Dig Pink was great all around--school spirit
and community were built, the game was incredibly fun, the food was
delicious, God's love was demonstrated, and eternal Kingdom ministry was
done. Praise God! I also want to thank you again for working with the
middle school teams. It has made a difference in their skills and
confidence and they feel so encouraged by the varsity team!
