The Carrizo Christian Academy/Immanuel Mission Lady Falcons have won their 3rd Consecutive State Championship of the NMCAA . Eleven girls played in the New Mexico Christian Athletic Association State Basketball Championship this last week in Santa Fe, New Mexico against other Christian schools of the area. The CCA Girls were undefeated in this year’s BB play. The athletic program at CCA is designed to be an evangelistic outreach and Christian discipling effort, believing that basketball is given by God to help develop the character of the Lord Jesus Christ in each student and athlete. The Most Valuable Player award was received by Anna Nininger, a team member of CCA. The coaches of other teams evaluated players for MVP along the following criteria: ball handling, shooting, effort as a team player, ability to stimulate other team members to play well, and sportsmanship.
