Grand Plan Unites Athletes hat began as an idea with Coach Fred Redd and Coach Mary Martin, became a grand plan of uniting athletes with God. Fellowship of Christian Athletes - FCA - was a new organization formed this year by SCHS's athletes and coaches. The purpose of the group was to present to the athletes and coaches the challenge of receiving Jesus Christ in their hearts and serving Him through relationships and spirit of community. Meetings were held once a month accompanied by a movie or guest speaker. Coach Ron Estay, the assistant football coach at Evangel College, was one of the speakers who told of his experiences and relationships with Jesus. Jimmy Gray stated, HFCA gives people involved a chance to get to know the feelings of fellow athletes. It also gives a chance to share our own feelings with one another. Although FCA consisted of approximately 15 members, the outlook for the future looked bright as more students began to discover the purpose of FCA. 1i Members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 2i Everyone listens closely during FCA meetings. 5i Julie Atwell and Shannon Jackson present a dramatic cutting during the ITS assembly. 4i Coach Ron Estay of Evangel College relays his thoughts about athletes and goals.
