FCA all-star cheerleaders

More than 200 athletes from 71 schools have been named to participate in the 2024 Northeast Texas Fellowship of Christian Athletes All-Star games.

Robert Bardin, NETX FCA area director, announced the all-stars before a packed sanctuary at First Baptist Church in downtown Tyler.

All-stars will participate in cheer, football, baseball and softball.

The baseball and softball games are scheduled for May 31 at Tyler Legacy High School.

The NETX FCA Heart of a Champion football game is scheduled for June 1 on Earl Campbell Field at Christus Trinity Mother Frances Rose Stadium.

Close to 400 players were nominated for the teams, Bardin said.

This is the 14th year for the football game, which is sponsored by Chick-fil-A. It is the 10th year for softball and ninth year for baseball.

Bardin said the FCA is pausing from soccer this year since a lot of teams in East Texas do not play soccer. Soccer, basketball and volleyball will be considered in the future, he said.

He added the goals of the NETX FCA All-Star games include:

— to bring glory to God;

— to bring recognition to the work of FCA on the middle school, high school and college campuses in Northeast Texas;

— to highlight the talent of Northeast Texas athletes and coaches.

Bardin said, the mission is to lead very coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

Bardin is joined on the NETX FCA Leadership by Barbara Bardin, NETX FCA administrative specialist; Jeff Lee, Longview Area representative; Caitlin Petrich, East Texas Baptist University college campus representative; and Butch Smith, Van Zandt County area representative.

The NETX FCA board includes: chairman Dr. Paul Roberts, Gary Adams, Nancy Cavender, Dr. Jon-Michael Cline, Meredith Grant, Pat Hargrave, Brad Harvey, Justin Jenkins, Jim Rapp and Judy Stewart.

There will be more than 200 volunteers to help conduct the games.
