KANSAS CITY, MO – Teams at Northland Christian School recently concluded their awe-inspiring seasons in both volleyball and soccer. The varsity boys’ soccer team clinched 1st place in the Metro Christian conference tournament in addition to a sweeping overall victory at the Missouri Christian School Athletic Association statewide tournament. Not to be outdone, the girls’ volleyball team nearly matched their classmates’ achievements by likewise claiming the championship title in the statewide tournament and ending their season with a close second place in the conference rankings. At the younger level, Northland Christian Trailblazers’ junior high and elementary volleyball teams also successfully triumphed in their season-ending tournaments.

“Our athletes seize the opportunity to exercise the gifts and talents they were blessed with, and to see their efforts culminate in such strong seasons is awesome” said Brandy Tanner, athletic director.

And in doing so, whether we win or lose, we can readily find joy in all that we have accomplished. ”
