Clear Lake Christian School

Coach Robert Smith and his staff did a great job with the Eagle 6-Man football team leading the team to new heights and records never before reached by an Eagle football team in the school’s history. A summary of the football season is included in this news release. Assistant coaches Jerry Reeves, Leo Monsegue, Kevin Roman, Jordan Byrd and Earnest Byrd did an exceptional job with Coach Smith to develop and improve the Eagle team throughout the season. The Team won the Independent League with an undefeated record of 5-0. As the team entered the post season playoffs, they won the Semi – Final game and lost to Emery Weiner in the Championship game to finish as Runner up overall. Post season honors for individual players will be announced next week. This was a special team that accomplished a lot for CLCS. A really positive activity instituted by Coach Smith and Pastor Reeves was a weekly chapel for the football team accompanied by a team meal each week throughout the season. Visible changes in many players work habits, school habits and spiritual growth took place. Congratulations to Coach Smith, all his assistants and all the Eagle players.

The Fall Sports Banquet will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. at Clear Lake Christian School. We invite all parents, fans and supporters of CLCS athletics, the football program and the Volleyball program to be in attendance at this event. Enjoy a great meal, camaraderie and recognition of our CLCS athletes for their efforts and accomplishments in the fall 2009.

The Fall Sports teams just completed their season over the past weekend. Athletics is off to a great start with the success of CLCS 6-Man Football and CLCS Girls Volleyball. Both advanced to Post season play after finishing in the top echelon of each respective district.

Coach Mike Ritthaler did an excellent coaching job with the Volleyball team that was low in numbers and a little shorter in stature than most years at CLCS. Coach Ritt stressed fundamentals and drilled the girls until they became very competitive. The girls showed vast improvement throughout the season and especially late in the season when they advanced in the playoffs by winning a 4-team tie for the 4^th district playoff position. Hannah Stanley was selected All District 1^st team and Haley Sheldon was selected 2^nd team All District. Congratulations to all the girls on the team and to the two representatives who earned post season honors. Coach Ritthaler was assisted by Coach Kirsten Thornton who also coached the Junior High Girls Volleyball team to a winning season. Volleyball completed a very successful season in 2009.
