ALBANY — At Sherwood Christian Academy it is always more than about the game itself, winning or losing. The school builds its reputation based on stringent academics and strong adherence to Biblical education and guidelines. The sports program is geared to raise young athletes to be role models of the faith as well as compete on the field of play. There was no gnashing of teeth a few years back when the Eagles lost 30 football games in a row because of the high standards and strong beliefs, but now the athletic department, led by new headmaster Kenny Roberts and athletic director Jay Flynt, Sherwood is promoting their strong standards AND winning on the field of play.
“The bottom line is we set out to create a motto and a vision of glorifying God and competing with excellence,” said Sherwood Christian athletic director Jay Flynt. “Sometimes you get the knock on a Christian academy saying you can’t compete with excellence on the field of play. But Jesus was the ultimate competitor and many of our athletes have bought into that.”
