Spartans Beat Kipp Sunnyside

The Scarborough football team won its first game since 2009 on Friday night.  The Spartans knocked off Kipp Sunnyside 18-14 to end a 59-game losing streak.  The team's last win before Friday was registered over Austin on September 10, 2009.

Spartans Heading to Corpus Christi Area this Season

After its successes last season, the Scarborough Spartans basketball team is apparently a hot item. The Spartans have been invited to play in the Gregory-Portland Tournament from December 10-12. Gregory-Portland is located in the Corpus Christi vicinity.  This distant location means that for the first time in a long time, the Spartans will be staying on the road during a tournament.

A road tournament results in the added expense of hotels and more, so a Go Fund Me account was set up by a fan of the team to help pay for this road trip.  As you can see here, the necessary $1800 was raised quickly by Spartan supporters. (NOTE: The goal has been raised since the first goal was met.)

Fans can still contribute and support the Spartans 2015-16 season.  According to Coach Martin Wall, additional funds are still needed for the rest of season.  The team is also scheduled to play tournaments in Hempstead and Royal.

Scarborough Spartan 2015-16 Schedule

It's still a little over three months away, but another Spartan basketball season is on the way. After notching the first play-off victory in school history in 2014-15, Scarborough is slated to start another season on November 17.  Check out the schedule here.

PLEASE NOTE at this time, the schedule is tentative.

I Know What You Did This Summer- Real Grace Reflection #25

Today is the final day of the summer camping season at Camp Lone Star.  The following REAL GRACE reflection is for the young men and women who served the camp this summer.  Thanks.

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID THIS SUMMER

I know what you did this summer…

Thank you for your time

Your willingness to serve at camp

Has truly made you shine

I know what you did this summer

Wasn’t always fun

And I’m sure the life of Lone Star

Kept you on the run

Yet, your soles kept on sliding

In the mud and in the heat

No butthead could deter you

Now, the finish line you meet

I know what you did this summer

In that special place

Wherever your path takes you now,

Keep walking in Real Grace
