Good morning,
As adults, we know that life can be unpredictable and difficult at times. We can feel as though we have the world in the palm of our hand, and then something can happen that changes our outlook in a heartbeat. This reality is tough for adults, but it is exponentially more difficult for the teenagers we work with every day.
This past Saturday, our girls' basketball team's season came to a disappointing end in the Sectional final. They fell short of reaching their goal on the court, but what they accomplished this season and taught us along the way is nothing short of extraordinary. In early January, their coach, Rob Berry, was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs and brain. Coach Berry is a tough, strong-willed man and to see their mentor weakened by this disease was devastating for the team. It would have been easy for them to throw in the towel and be less than their best. Who would blame them? However, with Coach Grosselin's steady hand and the leadership of the seniors, they rallied. They grew closer to each other, involved the community by selling #robstrong t-shirts, played the game with passion, and seemed to be having more fun along the way.
Through it all, they taught us that winning is important, but the true reward comes to those who rise up in a challenge and show the depth of their character. God's light was truly shining through these girls!
It's a great day to be a Patriot!

Our goal is to successfully bring together various groups at Carroll as well as create an entertaining event to the Greater Dayton area, in celebration of St. Patrick's Day!
