Rock Springs Christian Academy Middle School boys
basketball; region champs and district runner-up
Rock Springs Middle
School boys’ basketball
team finished a historic
season with a 16-4 re
cord, winning the Region
and District Runner-up
for GAPPS District 2.
They were undefeated in
region play. Head Coach
David Strobel stated,
“Joshua McDaniel was
our floor leader and
always made sure the
younger players were
contributing. Jason Bates
also showed tremendous
leadership as our “big
man” for the team. Bates
was our lead
ing rebounder
and three-point
shooter. Ashton
Abernathy also
improved as a
leader all sea
son. Rounding
out our starting
five, we had
Sam Watson,
a scrappy defender and
rebounder, and Peyton
Seymour, who became
our third-leading scorer.
Our ‘sixth man’ and one
of the most
improved
players was
Adam McGin
nis, a defen
sive and steal
specialist
who made big
plays during
our playoff
run. Also
contributing to the team
were Ethan Eads, Cam
den Campbell, Brayden
Griffis, Bryce Jordan,
Eli Fouts, and Kooper
Pounds (also known as
“Shooter”). Every game,
we improved, we grew
together as a team, and
most importantly gave
great effort to provide
God the Glory.” The
Rock Springs Christian
Academy’s community is
incredibly proud of our
boys’ efforts all season
and look forward to see
ing what they do next
year.
