Lady Eagles athletes: Jessica Kreisel, Faith Nazario, and Jessica Gushue.

On Tuesday, May 10, 2011, Calvary Christian Academy held the annual Varsity Sports Award ceremony. Affectionately known as the VSAs, the night is about presenting awards to outstanding athletes who competed in fall, winter, and spring sports. The Academy Awards style gala began in The Grill, where athletes, parents, coaches, administrators, and teachers began the night’s celebration with a light dinner hosted by CCA’s athletics director, Dana Ridenour.

Dinner was followed by the ceremony in the Calvary Chapel Theatre, where secondary principal, Rob Lofthouse, opened in prayer. The VSAs included Athlete of the Year, Eagle Awards, Record-breaking Award, athletes with highest GPA on the team, Rick Hornsby Award, and the overall Athletic Team Award.

The athletes of the year were voted for by high school students and the winners were Ryan Reilly, a two-sport athlete, and Deborah Gordon, also a two-sport athlete. Reilly won for an outstanding soccer season and Gordon for an All-American year in basketball. Both Reilly and Gordon received a trophy and a five hundred dollar check donated by Chick-fil-A. Both gave inspirational speeches, starting out with thanking God.

The Record-Breaking Award went to Javan Shashaty, a three-sport athlete, who received the award for football. Shashaty leads the county in yards completed and has a very good chance of breaking the states record next year.

It turned out to be a great night for CCA soccer, which accounted for numerous awards, including the top prize for Best Athletic Team thanks to a 19-win season and first district championship win in CCA history. “Tonight was a great night for Eagles soccer. What we did on and off the field definitely paid off,” said Ryan Reilly.

The final presentation, the Rick Hornsby Award, went to Amanda Diaz, who was walked to the stage by her mom and who gave an inspirational speech that touched the crowd. “Amanda definitely deserved this award. She worked so hard through her disability,” said her brother, Matt Diaz.

The athletes of CCA have matured throughout this school year, seamlessly using sports for both competition and as a ministry of God’s love.
