Athletics

Foothills Community Christian School is committed to excellence in athletics. It is the mission of our athletic program to provide our students the opportunity to participate in several sports with the primary goal to develop Christ like attitude and behaviors in our student athletes.

Our Varsity and Junior Varsity teams belong to the Montana Christian Athletic Association. the MCAA consists of 15 organizations. Student athletes travel to Billings, Bozeman, Helena, Missoula and Kalispell for conference games.

Our Elementary and Junior High student athletes play in a parochial league and a city league. The parochial league and the city league consists of other teams in Great Falls and the surrounding area.

At Foothills Community Christian School we believe that it is a privilege to participate in athletics and both the coaches and student athletes strive to perform in a manner that glorifies God.

FCCS Lady Falcons
 
Coach Diedrich would like to congratulate the girls on a successful season.  We had 17 girls come out for basketball this year.  Eight graders Allie Nelson, Isabelle Johnson, and Kelcey Young.  Freshmen Brice Henning and Brianne McMillen.  Sophomores Tory Byrd, Hunter King, Jeanna LaVerdure, and Mady  Oakes.  Juniors Natasha Johnson, Holly Johnson, and Janelle VandeReit.  Seniors Kylie Diedrich, Nicole Acord, Kelcey Martin, Sonja LaVerdure and Taylor King.
 
The Junior Varsity team finished the season with a very respectable 7-4 record. The Varsity team captured the #2 seed for the Eastern conference during the regular season the final weekend of the schedule.  That’s the highest  they have ever been seeded going into the State Tournament.
 
The Varsity girls had a very exciting State tournament this year.  Their third game of the tournament, they came from behind in the last 2 minutes to beat Gallatin Valley Home School Cougars, who were the #1 seed from the Eastern conference and had beaten us earlier in the regular season by 29 points.  That win gave the Lady Falcons the right to play in the consolation game for 3rd and 4th place in state against Flathead Valley Home School Crusaders.  The girls played another phenominal game, but ended up losing a hard fought game in overtime.  Just missing out on taking home the 3rd place trophy.  This was the best the girls have ever finished in the State Tournament.
 
Hunter King and Kylie Diedrich were voted to the All Conference team and selected to play in the East/West  All Star game.  Kylie Diedrich was selected to the First Team All Tournament Team and Sonja LaVerdure was nominated by her teammates for the Christian Character Award.

Our seniors- Jesse Zuidema, Kyle Lund, Nick Haines, David McKay and Dan Henry will be missed and we thank them for their leadership.
