| In early July,
a group of 13 Comet athletes and 2 coaches traveled over 1500
miles round trip to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina to
participate in a week of "inspiration and perspiration."
They joined over 300 athletes and 150 coaches, adults, and family
members for a Fellowship of Christian Athlete camp at the YMCA
Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, N.C.
The group actually
returned to the same place that many former Comet coaches and athletes
had been in years past (1985-1992). This trip also helped celebrate
25 years of River Parish athletes attending such camps across
the country. It was SCC head coach Frank Monica who
first started FCA and these camp trips in 1976 at Lutcher High
School.
The camp offered weeklong
activities that included athletic competition, clinics,
and assemblies with music and testimonies from pro and
college athletes and coaches. The highlight of the camp for many
was the awesome worship and praise led by "Herb"
Moon.
Herb's friendly smile and
contemporary beat help everyone sing, jump, and dance all week
long. Pro football greats Sean Gilbert (Carolina Panthers), and
David Rocker (retired from the Rams) were two of the speakers
that shared at the night assemblies.
Free time in the afternoon
offered the opportunity to climb even more mountains or just
rest and relaxation and some story telling of events of the week
.
