Special Events
Tennessee Tech Game
Service Project
DQ Postgame Free Treat
-
Tennessee Tech Game - We're waiting on communications back from the Athletic Department to see when tickets are free for local sports league teams. We think it will happen sometime in February.
-
Be on the lookout for our Service Project! This will likely be a Sunday afternoon project that will benefit someone in the community around us and will likely be non-basketball related. We're about more than just basketball, we want to connect players to Jesus and to each other!
-
Our Dairy Queen free blizzard treat will take place after a game in January or February based on good sportsmanship. Coaches will let you know when this will be scheduled!
Scripture Memorization & Reading
We will encourage each player to memorize scripture and keep up to date on the scripture reading plan. Let's keep our athletes connected to Christ!
