Our middle school and high school programs will have their pictures taken on Wednesday, November 2, and Wednesday, November 16,^.immediately after school. Keep an eye out for location and the specific teams that will be scheduled on each of those days.

Christian Academy of Indiana is pleased to announce the hiring of Tristin Gregory as the new high school cheerleading coach. Coach Gregory has spent many years cheering throughout middle school and high school and currently works at CAI in the junior academy (preschool) and after care departments. She is excited to join the athletics department and help develop the cheer program from the youngest Warriors through the high school girls. Prior to being at CAI, Coach Gregory called western Texas her home. Coach Gregory also knows the importance of the CAI mission and looks forward to implementing the truths of God’s Word into the cheer program. Over the years she and her husband have spent a great deal of time pouring into the lives of youth of all ages through youth ministry.

Tuesday night the Warriors took on the Cougars at CAI in a thrilling 4-2 match that featured not just an aggressive approach but also a number of successes for the Warriors. The second half featured all four goals by the Warriors. Declan Hamm contributed two of the goals, while Max Samourian and Danny Lee both contributed a goal themselves. Kevin Ballew played a strong game in the net for the Warriors, coming up with a number of aggressive saves late in the game when the score was going back and forth.

Over on the tennis courts, a long match ensued for CAI against South Central. Bradley Gay jumped out early and quickly swept his opponent 6-3, 6-0. Daniel Boesing and Josh Hahn both locked in to a long match with their opponents, lasting over 2 ½ hours! Both ended victorious after three sets each (Daniel 4-6,6-4, 7-5 and Josh 6-2, 5-7, 6-4), giving CAI the 3-2 victory.
