Recently, our Men's baseball team gave it all they got and won our NCCAA regional tournament! We're so proud of the baseball team and for everything they've been able to accomplish this year.
As of this Monday, the men's baseball team traveled to Ohio where they're participating in the NCCAA baseball tournament. I am personally excited for them because they will get to see my home state.
They plan on playing throughout the week and it is a double elimination tournament.
As of earlier this week, we found out the results and they won the national championship as well! This is their third NCCAA championship in three years! A really neat fact is that the Atlanta Braves even wished the men's team well via a letter sent earlier this week. Go Eagles!

This week, intramural softball started and many of the freshman girls in LeTourneau are playing on a team. When I played softball for a few years, I played short-stop and second base. Do you play softball? If so, what’s your position? Comment below and we’ll send you a free TFC T-shirt!
Last week I got to catch a couple of the games.
Take a look at some of the photos!

The TFC baseball team has recently played a few home games! I had the opportunity to attend a game and also saw TFC's President, Dr. Bob Myers, who came and watched the game as well!
The Eagles have recently played Emmanuel College and although they played a great game, they lost in the tenth inning with a score of 4-3.
During Campus Preview, many of you future athletes came out and participated in a sports workout as well! I didn't get a chance to run with the team due to an injury during our sports workout, but I was excited to hear a previewer came out for Cross Country too!

Inter-mural basketball time!
It's that time of year for intermural basketball! This year, if you
had at least five guys on a team you could form a team and be apart of
the league. I love watching intermural sports because people who
don't have the time to play a sport through the college get a chance
to show their talent. It surprised me how many of the foreign
students were great at basketball!
Even as a freshman, you can sign up for intermural sports if you have
enough people to make a team. We offer intermural sports for
volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball! The games are fun to
attend and I hope to participate in a softball team later in the
spring!

This week on Wednesday, we had another home baseball game! The TFC Eagles faced Reinhardt College in the afternoon and won at home, 2-1! Rumor has it that the president of TFC came to the game as well!
Earlier in the week, March 6-8th, the #1 Eagles, baseball team took on #2 team Florida Christian!
The weekend was filled with a triple-header game series! The Eagles ended the triple-header against FCC with a 14-5 victory in the final game of the series! The Eagles had a team average over .500 with 16 hits and 28 runners on base! I’m excited to see how the rest of the baseball season goes!

On Friday, the Men’s baseball team faced Bethel for their very first home opener! TFC won both games, swooping Bethel in the first game then having a nail-bitter finish in the second game!

Their first game stated at one and I was still in class, but I went to their second game at four and at the top of the seventh inning and it was great to watch! TFC tied up the game 7-7 and held Bethal at bay through the bottom of the seventh. This meant that they’d go into over-time and one of our players, Josh, hit a walk off home run in the extra inning! It was so exciting! It made TFC really excited about the upcoming baseball season because we’ve been NCCAA National Champions since 09’!

This past weekend, the basketball teams headed to Clearwater, Florida for the NCCAA regional tournaments! Overall, the ladies came in 3rd place out of four teams in our division. The men won their first game and ended up losing in semi-finals. Both teams played great and a lot of the TFC students got to watch both games online! I know that I and my friends did!
A few of the players who went said that it was a great experience and from what I hear the ladies enjoyed their time at the beach!
Stay tuned for today at 1pm and 4pm the baseball teams have their home-opener! Come out and support the Eagles! Go Eagles!!!!

This past weekend, the Men’s basketball team had a game on Friday and Saturday. In Friday’s game, they faced their regional opponent, Trinity College of Florida. The Eagles outplayed Trinity in all aspects of the game and won 98 – 67! The Men pulled another win at home and beat Johnson University on February 9 for a non-conference game and won 76 – 57. The Eagles have won 5 of their last 8 games including a three game win streak!
On Saturday, before the Men’s game, the ladies played Johnson and lost, but it was still a great game!
Recently, the baseball team has begun their season by playing a lot of away games! This year, they will be playing around 15 games away before they have a home game, but stay tuned for a blog about the first home game during the first week in March! This weekend, the baseball team traveled to Southern Wesleyan University and won two out of the three games!

The new term was kicked off with Basketball games! The team has
competing rolling since the end of winterim! We have had a number of
home games for both the Ladies and the Men!
One of my close friends, Olivia, plays on the girls team so at one of the home games last week me, Sarah, and Cristy got shirts made for her by Hayden, one of our friends. It was cool to go to the game, hang out, and support Olivia. A lot of the LeTourneau girls typically go to the games and represent as well.
This week the big buzz is our game against Clearwater Christ this week. We hope to beat Clearwater on Saturday! The ladies play at 1pm and the Men take them on at 3pm! Come on out and support the Eagles! You can follow all the action on Twitter too by following the hashtag #beatClearwater.

On Saturday, the Cross-country team is having a goodbye party for seniors on the team. Our head senior, Jeremiah, is also our assistant coach and I’ve gotten to know him and his family really well. We also have Josh and Ben. We will miss our seniors since they were also some of our best runners! No one is leaving on our girls’ team, but our guys’ team will shrink in size. That means we have some openings on our team for next year! If you’re interested in running with us next year, feel free to email our awesome coach, Dr. Garside at dgarside@tfc.edu!
For the seniors we had Jeremiah, Ben (to the far left) and Josh (in the middle). Sam one of our best runners (to the far right), has chosen another school so it can better fit his career path. We will miss them all!
On Thursday night, the guys had a home game against Montreat College! They lost, 63-72.

This week, our men’s and women’s basketball teams headed to
Clearwater, Florida for their regional tournament! The men played a great first game and
won! The men will have their second game
tonight and the women will have their first.
I can’t wait to see how far they advance!
In baseball, the Eagles won the first game of a double
header with Point University this week
by a landslide! 14 – 5! They lost the
second game by only one point, 6 – 5.

Just before break, both basketball teams had two home games
back-to-back both Friday and Saturday. I
had a great time at the Men's game on Friday night because it was such an
intense game. The game ended up going
into overtime and you should have heard the crowd cheering! The Men fell at home this weekend in both
games, losing a nail biter Friday 76-75 in overtime. They lost Saturday 72-63
to Trinity.
The lady Eagles played Warren Wilson on Friday night and
lost 48 to 56. On Saturday, they played
a good game and fell to Trinity, 51 to 78.
The Men's basketball team put on a good show Friday night
with a special team warm-up! Check out
the video on our Facebook page!

This week
the Cross-country girls got together for a sleepover! We all went to Alisha and Cristy’s terrace
(an upperclassmen version of an apartment).
I had never been inside a terrace before now so it was cool being able
to see what life would be like as an upperclassmen.
Before
nationals every year, the girls make a video for the guys to help them defeat
our rivals! Last year, the girls copied
the running styles of the guys and mimicked them, but this year, we did
something even better. Though I can’t
tell you what it is yet be sure to check back for a description next week!
To update on our other awesome sports teams,
the Men’s soccer team won one out of three of their games at Nationals in
Kissimmee, FL!

This week,
on Friday, the Men's soccer team beat Clearwater! That's right, our Men's
soccer team is now ranked 6th among Christian colleges AND we are Regional
Champions! GO EAGLES! They played a great game and won 1-0! Everyone was super excited and supportive; we
even got #beatclearwater #accomplished to trend on Twitter!
The soccer
team leaves Monday during the day to face Northland International
University! Their game starts on
Wednesday at noon in Kissimmee, Florida!
Last week
was also a great week for our Cross-country team! We faced Kentucky Christian and a number of
D1 and D2 schools. I didn't get to go
due to a minor ankle injury during the week, but I was glad that our teams,
both guys and girls, got second! Our
trophy name is Tracy, now you have the inside scoop too!
I am really
looking forward to running in Cedarville, OH next Friday for Cross-country
nationals! I will be seeing my family
for the first time since they dropped me off at TFC, so it is a very exciting
week in the world of sports!
Friday, October 26th
Everyone on campus is getting hyped up about the upcoming events. This weekend, the cross country team is off to Kentucky Christian University for the last meet before Nationals in Cedarville, OH! I am really excited about finishing off the rest of our cross country season, and I hope to see my family when we head to Ohio in mid-November!

Both the guys and the girls cross country teams
did well at the TFC 2012 homecoming meet.
For the guys, Sam was in the top 10 and for the ladies, Clessie and
Alisha placed in the top 10. Go Eagles!
It’s Regional Tournament week here at TFC for our soccer
teams and our volleyball team! On dorm
mirrors, café windows, and all over campus you see #beatclearwater, our rival school for our men’s soccer team! I have seen the hashtags around campus and on
Twitter and it’s exciting to see everyone getting in on the action. The men’s soccer team takes on Clearwater at
7 PM on Saturday. The women’s soccer
team is taking on their opponents, today at 4:30 PM. The Lady Eagles volleyball team plays today
at 2pm. The first fifty students to the
soccer games or volleyball games this weekend get a free regionals TFC
t-shirt! Here's a glimpse of what they look like!

This week was homecoming week here at TFC and just like many
other teams, we had a home meet! I have
never run on our home course before for a meet, so this was very exciting and
helpful since I know the course from practice.
I think my favorite part was the support from the baseball team and the men’s
and women’s soccer teams. While running,
the baseball team helped keep our times at the mile markers and the soccer
teams cheered for us as we looped the soccer field! I thought it was really awesome that other
sports took time to support the meet. The coolest part of our race though has to be
the end because the race ends with us running into the gate at the falls.

On October 6th some of the cross country runners ran the
local Mt. Currahee race. Mt. Currahee is
one of the biggest mountains within Toccoa and is an event the locals look
forward to every year. This year alone, there were over 400 runners! 
From the TFC cross country team there were four runners who
ran the 10K race: Jimmy R for the guys, Clessie, Sarah, Cristy and our coach
Dr. Garside! I ran the 5K with Rebecca
and Cristy. Out of the 10K runners, Jimmy
placed first in his age group, Clessie and Sarah placed first and second, and coach Garside
placed first for his age division. For
the 5K runners, Rebecca and Cristy got first and second for their age group and
I placed second in my age group. Coach
Garside was proud of the results from our team! We were hoping this meant we
would not have to practice on Monday but no such luck.
Running Mt. Currahee was fun for me because I didn’t run the
10K so it was just like running any other race.
While running, I met a local who was originally from Rochester, NY. I found it really cool because that’s where
my grandma is from. I really enjoyed
meeting a few of the locals and getting involved in a community style 5k. In fact, our medals were hand made by one of
the local Toccoa pastors.
Friday, October 5th
Here at TFC,
we offer a number of sports for both girls and guys. Our fall sports have been going on for about
a month now and even our spring teams are already beginning to practice! I am on the Cross-Country team and I love
it! I was never used to running long
distances before coming here, but our Coach, Dr. Garside, really helped in
training me to be able to run in the mountains. Our other fall
sports are also about half way through their seasons. The men’s and woman’s soccer and the woman’s
volleyball team have been here before classes even started! Even the spring teams have been actively practicing on the field during their off season to get
fired up for their 2012-2013 season!
Stay tuned for more!
