On Sunday February 18 the SWLA FCA hosted their annual Day of Champions. 200+ athletes and coaches were in attendance for an afternoon of motivation and inspiration. Jacquise Terry, former Kent State All MAC, All Academic performer and currently on staff with the Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge at the Dream Center Campus was our guest speaker. JT shared an inspirational message encouraging the group to grow in Godliness from 1 Timothy 4:8,9. SWLA FCA would like to express our appreciation to McNeese Soccer for being at the event to welcome our Middle/High School athletes when they arrived, Conner Smith, SJ Welsh FB for opening our event in prayer, Baily Tillman, McNeese VB for singing our National Anthem, Joseph Geier for sharing his faith story, Matt Kreneta, McNeese FB, for sharing how being a part of an FCA Huddle on campus has helped him grow spiritually, and Elijah Melandez, McNeese FB, for closing out the event in prayer! In addition, we appreciate Trinity Baptist for hosting the event, Mitch Bohannon, TBC, for running the power point for the event, JD Broussard, TBC, for leading in worship, our SWLA FCA Board for serving alongside us, and all the sponsors who financially support FCA Day of Champions to allow coaches, athletes, and huddle sponsors to attend free of charge. And lastly, THANK YOU to the coaches and huddle sponsors for getting their athletes to sign up and show up on a beautiful Sunday afternoon! Day of Champions was a huge success as a result of a tremendous collective effort!
