Article by Jake Butterfield

On Friday, February 27, the Fellowship of the Christian Athletes held its annual FCA Dodgeball Tournament. This was the third year FCA has put on this event.  The tournament provides a positive environment for students to compete against each other while still having fun. “It [the tournament] was at least a 17.2 on the Fun Scale,” commented senior Lance Hultgren, a member of the 2013 and this year’s championship team. The Fun Scale is typically measured from 1-10.

The tournament took place last Friday at 6:30 in the Richard Homewood gym.  The teams were made up of six players each, three boys and three girls.  This year there was also a junior high portion to the tournament held in the middle school gym.  The high school tournament was made up of 10 teams, including two adult teams.  The 3rd Annual Dodgeball Tournament Championship team was made up of seniors Lance Hultgren and Tori Tomlinson, junior Duncan Fort, sophomore Paris Vigil, and freshmen Tucker Kimball and Georgia Hutton.  The team, led by Hultgren, sported “Dream Team” jerseys.  They battled through pool play to remain undefeated, then edged out a narrow victory in the championship match.

FCA’s next event will be the Kansas FCA Spring Conference on March 28 and 29.  Conference is held biannually at Rock Springs 4-H Conference Center just outside of Junction City.  The cost of camp is just $50 and any high school or junior high student is invited to attend.  If you have any questions talk to FCA sponsor, Lucas Boss, and get signed up today!
