All School, High School, News, , , , Leave a comment

SCA’s own Chaznic Griffin was selected as WALB’s Player of the Week, the week of October 8th, 2014. We are so proud of Chaz’s many accomplishments on and off the field. It takes a team to make individuals talent shine, so a big congratulations to the entire team for this award! To watch the television spot on Chaz’s award click here. Below is an excerpt from the spot.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Sherwood Christian’s first season in the GICAA is going swimmingly, and it seems they’ve found a budding star in junior Chaznic Griffin.

Griffin helped the Eagles blow out previously undefeated Thomas Jefferson Academy Friday night, and he did it on both sides of the ball.

SCA lead 27-7 after the first quarter thanks to a pair of Griffin receiving touchdowns.

But he put the exclamation point on the victory in the fourth quarter when he returned an interception 70 yards for a score.

So which way does he prefer to score: offensively or defensively? He says it doesn’t matter.

“The defensive one was more exciting, but they’re both equal to me because they both help the team,” he says.

The Eagles are now 4-1 with the big win, which Griffin credits to a week of working hard in practice.

“We knew we were playing a good team, so we prepared and we executed in practice and that played over to the game,” he says.

Elementary Homecoming Pep Rally

All School, Elementary School, High School, , , , , Leave a comment

On October 9, the Thursday before Homecoming, the cheerleaders and a few football players put on a pep rally at the Lower Campus for the elementary students. The cheerleaders led the students in several cheers and gave them a preview of the routine they will perform at homecoming. Coach Covington let the students participate in “clap drill” and taught them several chants the football players do in the locker room and on the field. The football players also gave a drill demonstration of going “one-on-one.” The student pick Big Steven ended up being bested by Big Ben 🙂 Coach invited any junior football players to join the team in the locker room at 7:15 the night of the homecoming game, and a select few will even get to lead the team out on the field! After a spirit line, it was back to class for the elementary students and back to the Upper Campus for the cheerleaders and football players. It was a great time to spend together and see all the school spirit through every grade level!

Stadium Renovations

All School, High School, News, , , , , , Leave a comment

If you have been out to the stadium recently, you might have noticed a few changes. The new color is probably the first thing you noticed, followed by the upgraded press box and the re-boarded visitor bleachers. Then you saw the freshly painted concession stand, softball and baseball dugouts, and their respective press boxes. All structures looking good for the new sports seasons this school year. But how did it all happen?

VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers sacrificed their time and clean clothes to improve our school. Over 25 people came out over the summer to give the existing structures a new paint job. One man who went above and beyond was Thomas Broome. In the heat of summer, he pressure washed the entire stadium and other structures, and did A LOT of the painting himself. He might not have wanted any praise, but he is going to get it! Thank you Thomas for all your hard work. It did not go unnoticed, and we are so glad to have you on our team!

The press box structure was in need of an upgrade as well. Mitch Summerell handled the construction of our new press box which includes easy-care vinyl siding, rolling metal doors, ceiling fans and a new roof. Thank you for your work!

Sherwood Recreation also handled re-boarding the visitor bleachers. We are sure the visitors will be happy about that!

We will need more volunteers in the future for other projects. Stay connected by checking in with the Booster Club on how you can help.

 

Junior Class Ring Ceremony

High School, , , , , Leave a comment

On August 26, the Class of 2016 received their class rings at a ceremony surrounded by their families and their piers.  The juniors each chose a ring design that was unique to their personality and activity at SCA. This ceremony was followed by a reception in the cafeteria where the juniors had the opportunity to show off their new rings to their classmates and their families.

The tradition of the class ring goes back to the year 1906. The class ring is to be worn with the writing facing the person wearing it while they attend high school, and the student gets others to turn their ring. Once the student graduates, the ring is to be turned by someone significant and then taken off and faced outward. Then it is to be turned by the person wearing it to “lock” the ring. Signifying the “locking in” of the memories they accumulated during their high school years.

Congratulations to the Class of 2016! To find out more about class rings, and the company we use to order our class rings from, visit www.jostens.com.

Elementary Beam Signing

On August 19, the elementary students were bused to the upper campus to sign a beam that will hang in the new elementary building currently under construction. They were excited to be out at the upper campus to see the construction and be a part of this building process. The variety of signatures and personalities were interesting to see, and boy were they well behaved!

Great job elementary school! We can’t wait until we are all at the same campus next year.

#33, Kenney Brown

Our own, Kenney Brown was just highlighted in an article in The Albany Herald. His work ethic and determination have garnered attention throughout our region. We are all so proud of you #33! Below is an excerpt from the article.

ALBANY — Over and over again, Sherwood football player Kenney Brown got slammed to the ground.

Right there in front of his teammates during an “Oklahoma” drill four years ago, the young freshman got tackled again and again and again …

But he kept rising to his feet, and that’s when Sherwood football coach Otis Covington knew.

“That’s when I knew that this kid was going to be special,” Covington said. “We put him up against a bunch of seniors, and they were wearing him out. Typically, kids will start to motor down when that happens, but Kenney kept getting up and asking for one more.”
