The winter sports season provides Miami Christian School athletes with myriad opportunities to shine. And shine they did.
Over the Christmas holiday, the Girls’ Basketball team participated in the “Queen of the Palms Tournament” to become the Runner-Up Champions. The MCS Boys’ Basketball team was the champion of the Kruel Showcase as well as champion of HoopHall. They also placed 3rd in the City of Palms Tournament and were Runners-Up in Battle at the Villages and the Sun Bash Tournament.
These events have resulted in attracting several college recruiters to our campus to check out the talented players here. Two such visitors were LSU Football Offense Line Coach James Cregg (who has also coached at the NFL level) and the LA Dodgers Baseball Recruiter Kelvin Colon.
