Varsity Volleyball District Champs & State Runner-Up

On Saturday, October 12th, the Academy for GOD’s High School Varsity Volleyball team made Phoenix history! In a display of talent and teamwork, our Phoenix squad brought home the TSIAA North District Volleyball Championship with a dominant 3-0 win. This is the first time any High School volleyball team from Academy for GOD has won a district championship, and we couldn’t be prouder of these incredible athletes and their dedicated coaches.

Our Varsity Volleyball team didn’t stop there; they went on to achieve an incredible 22-3 season record and competed in the TSIAA High School Volleyball State Championship game, where they proudly finished as state runner-up! Their dedication, resilience, and unity have set a powerful example for our entire school community.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the Phoenix fans, families, and supporters who packed the stands and brought energy to every match. Your encouragement and love have been a foundation for these players all season long. Congratulations, ladies! Your hard work, sportsmanship, and faith have made us all so incredibly proud.

First, we wanted to congratulate the Jr. High boy's team, led by coaches Ben Young and Teeyha Campbell. With a record of 16-4, they secured a second-place finish in the TSIAA conference, showcasing their talent and teamwork on the court.

Next, the JV Girl's and Boy's teams, with coaches Jen Nyago, Shaun Galford, and Isaiah Aaseby played an independent schedule that allowed them to elevate their game, providing invaluable experience and development opportunities that will shape their future contributions to our basketball program. The JV Girl’s team still has a couple of tournaments left to play in February and March.

Special recognition goes to our Varsity boy's team, led by coaches Andrew Bartlett, Isaiah Aaseby, and Stephen Ownby. They reached the semi-final game of the division 2 state playoffs, a testament to their hard work, skill, and determination throughout the season.

We extend our sincerest gratitude to our senior captains, all our players, coaches, and loyal Phoenix fans whose support contributed to our teams’ successes throughout the season.

Some notable individual highlights of the season were the following (pictured left to right):
