During this Advent season, hope, love, peace, and joy are our focus. Today the sweet 3rd graders in Mrs. Owen's class left me a lovely note, bringing me great joy. I later heard they did this during their free play time. I am always grateful for these random acts of kindness. It is a gift to care for the students at WCA!
The Westover Christian Academy boys basketball team was back at home tonight for a district contest with the Faith-Hurt Lions. WCA was led by Dylan Aron who had 17 points, 13 of those in the third quarter.
WCA started the game a little shaky on defense but was able to go up 20 to 12 because of very efficient offense. The Bulldogs locked down on defense for quarters number two and three holding the lions to five points in the second quarter to go up at the half 33 to 17.
The Bulldogs continued to clamp down in a man-to-man defense throughout the third-quarter holding the Lions to six points and scoring 22 to put things out of reach. Faith would get hot in the 4th quarter hitting 18 points but WCA was still able to win handily. Final score 71-41 in a complete team victory
Josh Lewis was the second leading scorer for Westover he had 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists. Jezekiah Morris had 9 points and 4 rebounds. Dawson Booth had 4 points and led the team with 10 rebounds. Chris Miller had 8 points, 2 assists, along with two steals. Senior Captain Austin Salmon had four assists. Noah Burton added 5 points and 4 assists. Aaron Haley had a breakout performance tonight with 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists for the junior. Isaac Motley chipped in 2 points and had 2 assists as well. Matt Moore had a three point shot in the fourth quarter. This improves the Bulldogs record to 4-1, 4-0 in VACA. WCA will face another district game Friday night at 8 o’clock against Temple Christian.

WCA would trail by as much as 24 points before making a run at the end of the first half to cut it to an 18 point lead 42 to 24 at the half.
The Bulldogs went into a 3-2 quarter court press and was able to contain the gryphons for the second half holding New Covenant to 25 total points. The Bulldogs cut the lead as low as eight before losing the game by 11. WCA was led by Dylan Aron who had 17 points seven rebounds Dylan connected on three three-pointers.

Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy JV Boys Basketball team was back in action Thursday evening against the Tornados of Timberlake Christian School and came away with a convincing 61-31 victory. WCA last played two weeks ago on the road against Dayspring Christian and hadn't been able to practice since Monday. The layoff did seem to effect the Bulldogs early with some sloppy passes and unforced errors, however they were able to race out to an early 11-1 lead with high pressure defense in the full court.
Those sloppy passes would enable TCS to hang around into the 2nd quarter before the Bulldogs put the clamps down defensively to go up by 24 points at halftime, 39-15. The Bulldogs started the 3rd quarter in a man-to-man defense and the Tornados managed to bank in 2 three pointers to force the Bulldogs to adjust their defense to eliminate the threat from downtown. The two teams would actually trade baskets throughout the frame and both scored 13 points for a margin of 52-28 heading into the final stanza. All 13 of the Bulldogs players would see game action tonight and 11 of 13 would score with all players contributing. Westover would get up by over 30 points which triggered an automatic running clock for the remainder of the game and the Bulldogs cruised to a 30 point win 61-31.
WCA was led in scoring by Ashton Bettendorf who had 12 points and 6 steals. Luke Barber had 9 points going 3 of 4 from behind the arc, while Blake Barber played awesome coming off the bench to score 8 points, collect 7 steals and draw a charge when we were already up by 25. Tyler Hughes got his first action of the season scoring 7 points, Bailey McDowell had 5 points while Isaac Von Eime, Brayden Bortz, Dallas Wheeler and Matthew Millner all had 4 points apiece. Aaron Salmon and Neal Talbott both chipped in with 2 points. With the win WCA improves to 3-0 (3-0 VACA) on the season.
We are back in action tomorrow night on the road against former VACA foe the Gryphons of New Covenant School at 5:30pm.
The Westover Middle school boys faced off against the Timberlake Christian Tornadoes on Thursday night. The Bulldogs struggled early to get their shots to fall while the Tornadoes took an early lead in the first quarter. Westover continued to fight and closed the gap ending the first half only down by one point with a score of 13-14. Westover came out of halftime and jumped to a three point lead but could not hang for long due to several players being in foul trouble. A hard fought game ultimately ended in Westover’s first loss of the season with a final score of 29-34. The Bulldogs are now 2-1.

Fourth graders having fun at Old Salem😊
Spanish students love invoking their “special power” as the Cantaninja whenever their name is drawn from the class bucket. The Cantaninja has the power to stop whatever the class is doing at the moment, just long enough to choose one of the class songs (in Spanish, of course). The students enjoy it and it provides a brain break, but keeps them in the target language.
Fourth graders experienced fun hands-on learning in Old Salem today! Thank you, Mrs. Nance, for organizing a great field trip!

Danville,
The Westover Christian Academy JV Boys Basketball team took the floor for the first time this year and took on the defending VACA champion Eagles of Roanoke Valley Christian Academy and came away with a resounding victory 42-18. WCA actually started slow and fell behind 5-0 before going on a 12-0 run to finish the 1st quarter up 12-5. The 2nd quarter would also belong to the Bulldogs as they again scored 12 points while holding their opponent to just 3 points to enter the halftime break up 24-8. After some halftime encouragement, the team came out and throttled their opponent in the 3rd quarter by a score of 18-2. With the large lead (30+ points) the clock became a running clock in the 4th quarter and the Bulldogs would win the game 42-18. WCA was led in scoring by Ashton Bettendorf who had 9 points and 8 rebounds. Dallas Wheeler was a steadying influence and had 8 points and 5 rebounds. Isaac Von Eime and Aaron Salmon each had 6 points while Mason Campbell and Blake Barber both had 4. Luke Barber had 3 and Bailey McDowell chipped in with 2 points. With the win WCA improves to 1-0 (1-0 VACA). Our next game is on the road Thursday at Dayspring Christian at 4pm.
Picture day tomorrow and practice to follow 3-4:30.

Write up for middle school boys.
The Westover Christian Academy middle school boys team faced a worthy opponent when they played the Roanoke Valley Christian Eagles Tuesday night in Roanoke. Both teams struggled in the first half to make their shots and ended the first half with Roanoke Valley leading 8 to 3. The Westover boys came out of halftime with purpose and went on to out-score the Eagles 14 to 7 in the second half. Blake Johnson led the Bulldogs in scoring with a total of 8 points all of which were scored in the second half. Roanoke Valley brought the defensive pressure but it wasn’t quite enough as Westover squeezed out the win in the last minutes with a final score of 17 to 15.

Here, Mrs. Beach and Mrs. Porterfield’s class had to work with a partner to complete a number puzzle! Yay for friends and working as a team!!

Our WCA band performed in the field show this past weekend and brought back six trophies and a first place award. We are so proud of these marching Bulldogs! But all of these accolades are small in comparison to this letter Mr. Davis received.
“It was my pleasure to sit near several of the Westover Christian Academy marching band members during the 4A and 5A performances yesterday in Greensboro. Your students were incredibly polite and personable. They represented themselves and your school beautifully. They showed support for each band that performed, and when they learned that my nephew plays for East Davidson, they made positive comments on the East performance and shared in my excitement over the East accomplishments.
I do not know the names of these young people, but if you ask your band members which ones sat at the fifty yard line, that is the group! I know you are proud of them, not only for their musical expertise, but also for the way they treat each other and the way they interact with complete strangers. I wish you all the very best school year and marching band season. Please let your students know that others notice and appreciate their conduct!“
What amazing praise for a group of Christian winners!!! Thank you for representing our school, our band, and Jesus Christ in such an exemplary manner.

Our marching Bulldogs sounded loud and clear and looked sharp. We had a great support group in the field crew as well as in the stands. Proud of our Marching Bulldogs.
Last night, right here in our WCA gym, our varsity ladies posted a big VISAA win against the Celtics of Roanoke Catholic School! It took five sets to make it happen, but the Lady Bulldogs wouldn't back down against a solid RCS defense. Game scores were 23-25,
20-25, 25-23, 25-22, 15-8. Our record improves to 14-5 overall. There were many shining moments for our ladies throughout the competition, but one moment stands out. We were at set point and Erin Saunders ran down a ball and attempted to save the play with a pancake. The official gave us the point and signaled end of set. Erin approached him and admitted that the ball hit the floor before she got to it. Play resumed and we won the next rally. We are so blessed to be represented by ladies who treasure their testimonies more than winning! That character truly reflects Jesus! So thankful!
Love the WCA website!

We are continuing to grow together. Westovers first home game will be Friday night at 5.
