Recently, the

Fayette Christian falcons basketball team participated in the Greater

Atlanta Shootout at Forest Park Christian School.

All three of

the Falcons teams, the junior varsity boys and the varsity girls and boys

teams, played Tabernacle Christian in the first game and all three Falcons

teams won.

Friday, the

junior varsity team won 59-26. Jon Sellers led the team with 17 points

and five steals, while David Erikson chipped in 14 points and seven rebounds.

The varsity girls came from behind in their game to win 45-34. Jennifer

Vinson led all scorers with 19 points and nine rebounds, while freshman

Chasmine Blair added 12 points.

The championship

games were Saturday. The junior varsity boys played Forrest Hills and

won 50-38. Sellers scored 26 points and Keenau Parson chipped in 10 points.

Sellers was named the MVP and Erikson was named to the all-tournament

In the varsity

girls game, the Falcons struggled against Forest Park in the first half

but came back valiantly, to finish down by six points, 30-24. Vinson scored

seven points and pulled in nine rebounds in the loss. Both Vinson and

Blair were named to the all-tournament team.

The varsity

boys also faced Forest Park in the final game and won 71-53. The Falcons

led for most of the game thanks to 32 points from Marden and 14 points
