The 2012-13 Pilot cheerleaders
placed 6th in the OSAA state 3A/2A/1/A competition held Feb. 9 in Portland.
Although falling just short of a trophy, the girls were within striking distance of 3rd, or even 2nd place, in the closely bunched field.
The girls are coached by Jami Stansberry, who has led the team in competitive cheerleading since 2007.
“Senior Night” saw Canyonville Christian Academy’s boys basketball team reverse an earlier loss to Milo Adventist Academy by a 49-41 score on Feb. 5.
This win earns CCA a 10-6 season record with one game remaining on the schedule.
The Pilots’ stingy defense has given up more than 55 points in a game just once this season. CCA’s boys are coached by Noel Schaak, who has led the team since the 2004-5 season.
On February 6, U.S. Olympic javelin thrower Cyrus Hostetler spoke to Canyonville Christian Academy’s student body.
Hostetler (272.10 personal best throw) is a 2-time Pac-12 champion, a Silver medalist at the 2011 Pan-American Games, and competed at the 2012 London Olympic Games. His story was a powerful testimony about perseverance. CCA students responded very well and surrounded Cyrus afterwards for autographs and photo opportunities. His testimony encouraged some students to try out for track this season.
In their best defensive outing of the season, Canyonville Christian Academy’s boys held a strong (12-6) Camas Valley team to just 11 points in the 2nd half as the Pilots pulled away for a 38-26 win.
For Camas Valley, the state football champs, it was their lowest point total of the year.
In a earlier game, CCA outscored Umpqua Valley Christian in the second half but were unable to overcome the halftime deficit. Final score was a narro 48-52 loss for the Pilots.
CCA’s boys’ basketball team got back into their schedule after the extended Christmas break with a 44-41 victory at Pacific. But then the offense went AWOL in a pair of losses versus Milo Adventist Academy (35-47) and Days Creek (29-34), the Pilots’ two lowest scoring games of the year. The boys are now 7-4 on the season.
The largely novice girls’ team (1-7) had their best recent game in a 31-32 loss to the Days Creek JVs.
In week three, the CCA boys’ basketball team picked up their 6th win and 2nd loss.
The win was by a 51-24 margin over North Douglas; the loss was to Crow (7-1).
The Pilots were led by Joe Chen (22 points) and Serge Sandrali (16 points) in the two weekend games.
In the second week of the young season, Canyonville Christian Academy’s boys added another win. This time at the expense of Yoncalla – a 52-45 victory in overtime.
The Pilots came up short against Umpqua Valley Christian 39 – 51 for their only basketball loss of the year. (Season record: 4-1; State rank #8). The Pilots were unable to slow down 6′ 7″ center Danny Medak who shot 10 for 11 from the field, scored 28 points, and pulled down 15 rebounds.
CCA’s girls also picked up a win in week two. The girls were able to hold off UVC by a 45-41 final score.
This boarding school‘s basketball team is a diverse group of students from all over the world who learn to work together to accomplish first a team spirit, then unity on the court. This weekend showed the results of the boys’ hard work.
The team opened with a 13 point win over South Umpqua’s (4A) JV’s. This was followed by wins over Butte Falls (67-31) and El Sobrante Christian (66-37) for first place in the CCA Invitational Tournament.
The Christian academy’s largely novice girls’ team went winless in week one but made a strong showing against El Sobrante, a school from the San Francisco Bay area.
