Prestonwood Christian Academy Clinches Elusive Texas State Championship Triple Crown
Plano, TX (PRWEB) May 31, 2016 -- Prestonwood Christian Academy accomplished a long-time goal on the baseball diamond on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, resulting in an unprecedented athletic year for the school.
PCA clinched what the local media is calling the TAPPS 5A “Triple Crown;” winning State titles in football, boys basketball and baseball all in a single school year. In addition to the Triple Crown, PCA teams also achieved State Championship titles in girls golf and competitive cheerleading as well as secured individual gold medals in swimming and multiple track events.
“Winning State Titles doesn’t happen often in the life of a school, and it’s a feeling that needs to be cherished and used as motivation,” said Chris Cunningham, PCA’s Athletic Director and Head Football Coach. “This has truly been a special school year, and we are giving all the glory to God."
PCA's Varsity Baseball team played for the TAPPS 5A State Championship after defeating St. Thomas High School of Houston 5-4 on May 24. Facing opponent Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School from Beaumont, TX, on May 25, PCA won 7-1 securing the school’s first ever baseball State Championship and finished the 2016 season with a 31-1 record.
"We teach Kingdom Athletics at PCA, which is more than just how to excel in a selected sport. It’s training the hearts and minds of student-athletes to value hard work, discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship in the classroom of athletic development and competition," said Coach Cunningham. "Colossians 3:23 says, ‘Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,’ and this is the standard on which we base our expectations of our student-athletes!”
