Our high school boys basketball team stepped onto the court for the sub-state quarterfinal matchup against Chetopa last night with focus and determination. By the end of the game, the scoreboard showed a 71-16 victory for the Cougars. But the road to the championship is never just about the scoreboard.
Last night's win represents more than one strong night on the court. It reflects months of commitment, coaches investing in their players, and teammates choosing to trust one another in big and little moments.
This group continues to grow. Not just as athletes, but as young men who compete with character and heart. And they aren't just playing for a title. They’re playing for each other.
Now the journey continues. Our boys advance to the semifinal game at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 28, against Marmaton Valley.
Get ready for silly socks, cozy pajamas, creative costumes, and lots of reading fun as we spend the week diving into books and building a love for stories. From laughter to imagination to wide eyed wonder, this week is all about making reading exciting and memorable.

Our middle school basketball seasons have come to a close, and we're so proud of how our student-athletes competed in this year’s Heart of the Plains League tournaments. Beyond the scores and standings, we saw growth and perseverance displayed on and off the court.
Middle School Boys Head Basketball Coach, Ryan Duft:
“I am very proud of our middle school boys basketball team.They were a joy to coach, and it was exciting to see the growth of our team throughout the year—not only on the basketball court, but also in their walk with the Lord. Although we had a young team, they worked hard and finished sixth in league play. I am especially proud of our C team, who finished the season undefeated with a 6–0 record. I am looking forward to next year as we continue to build on the foundation that was started this season.”
Middle School Girls Head Basketball Coach, AJ Caldwell:
“The girls finished out their season in the first round of the HOPL tournament. While we did not want the season to end so soon, we are so proud of the girls and the progress they made this year! We ended up finishing undefeated at home against league opponents, which is something to be incredibly proud of! We look forward to getting better during the off-season as we prepare for next year! Go, Cougars!
Way to go, Cougars! Thank you to our coaches, families, and fans for supporting our middle school athletes.
And, we give a shout-out to our creative teachers who joined in on the fun right alongside their students. Fun outfits made the day even more special. We love seeing our teachers celebrate learning and create memorable moments for our students!
At Central Christian, we teach students that love is more than cards and treats. It's shown through generosity, compassion, patience, and caring for one another. As Scripture reminds us, “We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19).
We are grateful that we can celebrate Christ’s love and encourage our students to reflect that love in the way they treat others.
