“At junior college the competition was good, but Greenville is a complete 360—a different world.
All the guys are great, it’s like a brotherhood. There’s a balance between spirituality and sports.
The coaches mix in biblical principles, and they live out what they believe. That affects the way we
play football, do school, and live our lives.”

together, go on retreats, help in the community, do mission trips, grow
spiritually, become lifelong learners — and win big games!

an Unbeatable “serve”More than 20 Panther football players spent Spring Break doing service projects
in some of the grittiest parts of Philadelphia, including McPherson Park of
Kensington, better known as “Needles Park” due to the prevalence of drug
abuse there. The players cleaned the entire park, hosted a football camp, and
offered a cookout and coffee house for the homeless.

“I went to Colombia, South America, with Athletes in Action.
We played basketball games against local colleges, offered
basketball clinics, and gave our testimonies to the crowds
during halftimes. We got connected with several churches
and they helped make our visit even better. It was amazing.”

always get a chance to do something fun and see the land, go to the markets, hike a
volcano, and experience the culture and its people.”
