Gallatin High School students Roxi Davitt, Jamie Lunsford and Brook Carter recently received a prestigious honor for the High School Christian Student Athlete All American Award.
Roxi and Jamie both received 1st Team Honorable Mention and Brook received 2nd Team Honorable Mention All American.
Recognized as the top high school Christian student athletes in America. More than 3,100 student athletes nationwide were nominated from 8,500 high schools for this prestigious award and top honors were given in four categories; First and Second Team All-American and First and Second Team Honorable Mention all American. Athletes were selected for their academic accomplishments, athletic achievements, and Christian character to represent some of the brightest and most accomplished high school students in the nation.
The All-American program, now in its seventh year, was created to reward and encourage high school student athletes who are impacting their schools, communities and generation in a powerful way.
“We want to congratulate, Roxi, Jamie and Brook on being selected to represent the Gallatin community as part of the finest Christian student athletes in America,” said Kent Susud, Athletes of Good News Executive Director.
“The mission of the High School Christian Student Athlete All-American program is simple, yet powerful! Our mission is to encourage and reward Christian student athletes for their athletic accomplishments, academic achievements and boldness to impact their generation through a life of Christian character,” says Susud. “Our strategy, in part, is to develop positive relationship with high schools, reinforce the commitment of student athletes to excel with integrity, promote national exposure to qualifying athletes and schools through college scholarships, speaking opportunities, award recognition, and to challenge athletes and coaches to become greater leaders by serving others.
“Roxi, Jamie and Brook are students truly making a difference not just because of grades or athletic ability, but for a greater reason; because they made a commitment to serve others and live a life of character and integrity based upon their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”
Brook was accepted to go on a Mission to California/Mexico but due to scheduling conflicts was unable to go this year. She plans to go next summer with the Christian Athletes of Good News.
Kim Shahan, who serves as president, founded athletes of Good News in 1982. Today athletes of Good News operate several national divisions based at headquarters in Lawton, Okla. In addition to the All-American program, Athletes of Good News operates an international sports ministry outreach and year around retreat and conference center in the Wichita Mountains.
