The Delmar Baptist Senior High Boys Basketball Team retained their title as League Champions on Saturday, March 12 when they defeated the team from First Baptist Church of Arnold, 76 to 53.
The Delmar Baptist team was well coached by Bill Brady of 61XX Washington. Together with Brady’s leadership abilities and knowledge of the game and the outstanding sportsmanship of the players, the team of neighborhood boys brought home its fourth first-place trophy in six years.
The team was honored at the church on Wednesday, March 16 with a banquet. Special guests included Nancy Farmer, SDCC, and Louis Forsyth of the Missouri Baptist Conventions missions department. Special recognition was given to the team’s sponsor and Bible study leader, Sam “Mr. Donut” Austin.
Most of the young men also participate in the church’s open gym program which is held three days each week after school.
The program will continue through May.
