In the second half Dominick came out and made an opening statement with two straight tackles to stop John Paul’s offense. He finished with 246 yards and two touchdowns, as his game was essential for Calvary’s win. Head Coach, Trent Gamble said after the game “without Dominick we would not have the win.”

Dominick Pierre is the epitome of an all-around athlete, he is essential to the Eagle’s success, by leading the team to victory through his leadership and dominance on the field. He not only stars on offense as a running back, but he also leads the team’s defense as middle linebacker. He comes up with breakaway runs, and hard hitting tackles each and every game. The team looks to him when in need for a big play or a stop, but they also look up to him off the field, as he is one of the leaders for a small group Bible study the team has been doing all year. In adversity the Eagles can always count on Dominick to bring them out.

Dominick’s success on the field did not go unnoticed, when he was asked to be interviewed on WQAM a sports radio station. He says, “It was a great opportunity that most student athletes don’t have, mainly to publicize my school.” He answered simple questions explaining his strengths as an athlete, but mostly talked about the CCA football program. He said that “CCA is now on the radar,” after a public interview and the fact they have an overall record of 6-1.

Dominick was also honored at the Dolphins game last Sunday afternoon at halftime against the Saints. He was named the player of the week, which was a huge accomplishment! A teammate told Dominick to “live up to God’s glory and you will do great things for Him.” Dominick is definitely living up to God’s glory, and his accomplishments prove it. He has tremendous talents and is using them to their full capability for God.

CCA football games are jam-packed with excitement, as last week our explosive offense led the way to a 26 to 8 victory over Inlet Grove, and last Friday the Eagles went on the road and played a hard and well fought game against Pine Crest. Through all the excitement of football, it is after the game when the real story takes place. As Coach Trent Gamble stated “The guys did a great job during the game, and after.”

On August 28th, after the home victory over Inlet Grove, the CCA football players did the “one-on-one drill,” where ach player goes up to the guy that they were matched up against during the game and shares the Word of God with him. Coach Trent Gamble’s vision for this drill came through as two players and two coaches from Inlet Grove received the Lord. This is CCA athletic director, Dana Ridenour’s, main goal for CCA sports, to not only be a force on the field, but a light to the rest of the world through athletic competitions.

Every football game is not only viewed as a competition, but as an outreach, and is a chance to lead others to Christ. Dominick Pierre, one of the leaders on the football team, shared the Gospel in the middle of both teams. This provided an opportunity to pray with everyone, and even led a few players to accepting Christ.

 Football is commonly known for the hard hits and diving catches, but at CCA, God is using it in a completely different way. This truly shows that God works in mysterious and wonderful ways. Because of the simple game of football, many souls have been brought into the Kingdom for eternity.
