All American Games and Football University (FBU) are proud to announce offensive/defensive lineman, Hunter Trenaman, from Christian Academy of Louisville (Ky.), has been selected to play in the inaugural 2013 FBU International All-Star Games, taking place from January 1st-5th, 2013 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

The FBU International All-Star Games feature top athletes selected from FBU North America and FBU International camps held from September 2011 to September 2012. Each athlete will be selected based on their performance at a camp, as well as playing footage, judged by the FBU committee of former NFL players and coaches. In the aggregate, FBU has reviewed more than 200 Canadian athletes, 750 European athletes, and 1000 U.S. athletes in the pursuit to create these first-ever FBU International All-Star Games.
The FBU International All-Stars are being selected not only for their outstanding performance on the field but also for their accomplishments and dedication in the classroom. Paired with his accomplishments on the field, Trenaman boasts a GPA of 4.2 and was named to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association All-State Academic team.
The inaugural games will feature more than 160 U-19 football athletes comprising the rosters to five teams: Europe, Canada/Montreal, Canada/BC, Mexico and United States. Additionally, FBU will select 25 coaches that participated in FBU International and North American coaching clinics to lead the all-star teams. The FBU International Games’ semi-final game will be played at 8am CT and the championship game at 8pm ET on Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Alamodome.

CAL Girls Golf Wins CAI Invitational
On Saturday, the CAL girls’ golf team was a last-minute entry into the Christian Academy of Indiana Girls Invitational at Hidden Creek Golf Club in Sellersburg, IN. An opportunity presented itself to be a replacement team in the CAI tourney and the Lady Centurions brought home all the hardware! The team enjoyed fellowship with their sister school and a small field of other Southern Indiana schools on a beautiful day on the course. This is the first girls’ golf trophy for CAL in at the last 5 seasons. The heavy overnight rain made the course play very long and difficult, but the girls persevered and claimed First Place Team honors with a 291 total. All four CAL golfers claimed individual honors. Sophomore, Abby Stivers led the way with a 93 to win 2nd place individual thanks to a great 42 on the back nine. Sophomore, Sarah Son was right behind Stivers with another strong outing to claim 3rd place with a 94. 5th Place went to sophomore Carly Clements with a strong finish score of 104, and freshman Emily Neat brought home the 10th place medal with a 122. This invitation taught the Lady Centurions a great lesson heading into several of their most important events of the season in the coming weeks. They learned that by toughing it out and hanging in there despite some bad holes, they can finish with an overall effort that still produces winning results.
CAL Sophomore Riley Thompson Commits to UL Baseball
CAL sophomore, Riley Thompson, has committed to play baseball at the University of Louisville. Thompson is one of the top pitchers in the midwest for the class of 2015. UL head baseball coach, Dan McDonnell met with Thompson over the weekend to discuss his future with the Cardinal baseball program.
“Riley is a great kid who works hard, and has a big-time arm. He consistently pitches 84-85 mph, but I’ve seen him touch 88-90 mph,” said CAL’s head baseball coach, Tim Brown.
“I have been playing baseball since I can remember,” said Thompson. “I love everything about UL’s baseball program. Coach McDonnell is a good Christian man who has made me feel really welcome.”
Riley started playing baseball for the Centurions in the 6th grade and began pitching for the Varsity team during his 8th grade year. Thompson pitched 8-2 last year as a freshman and has an ERA of 2.08.
