-Anna Howell covering Calvary for JAWS.

Stadium was packed full during the Calvary Cavaliers’ first official game of
the 2014 season. This past Thursday night marked a big win for the Cavaliers,
beating the 5A state runner-up Parkway.
Intense is an understatement when
describing the atmosphere of the showdown; both Parkway’s Murder Section and
Calvary’s Kingdom were loud and proud. At many points in the game anyone could
have taken the win-it was not over until the clock reached zero. Much respect
is due to Calvary’s defense; they really stepped up to the plate. Not to be
forgotten, the strong offensive squad performed amazingly as usual, scoring 46
points compared to Parkway’s 27.
Parkway is still to be commended, putting up quite a fight, and of course defeating the Cavaliers in 2013. Last year’s game, along with the results of the State Championship games(Calvary is the Division III State Champion), fed the rivalry and anticipation leading up to this great competition. Hard work is evident by the level of discipline and athleticism displayed by both teams, not to mention talent.
Next up for the Cavaliers is the Midland Christian Mustangs, then the
Byrd Yellow Jackets- games that will not disappoint. Once again Calvary Baptist
Academy is facing a tough schedule before district. Hopefully this will prepare
them for another state ring.
The camaraderie and brotherhood of the boys is
shown on the field, this aiding in their victories. The team is one under
Christ, to Him glory is given. The journey for the Cavaliers has just begun
