Winning to Go Home: Playing from Adoption, Not for Approval
In the playoffs, it’s simple: win, and you move on. Lose, and you go home. The results feel absolute. There’s no hiding from the scoreboard.
But sports teach us something deeper than results.
They teach perseverance.
They teach grit.
They teach us to fight when we’re tired.
They teach us to respond when the outcome doesn’t go our way.
In competition, we often feel like we have to earn everything — respect, recognition, advancement. Yet the Gospel tells a different story.
Through Christ, we are not striving for acceptance — we are living from acceptance.
“The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.” — Romans 8:15
Because of Jesus, we are adopted into God’s family. Our identity is not determined by a scoreboard, a playoff result, or a stat line. We are sons and daughters of God.
Even in defeat, we are not defeated.
Even when the season ends, our identity doesn’t.
Even when results don’t go our way, God’s declaration over us never changes.
Sports may be absolute in results.
God’s love is absolute in relationship.
So we compete with grit.
We persevere with courage.
We accept outcomes with maturity.
But we walk off every court or field knowing this:
We don’t play for belonging.
We already belong.
And that truth gives us the greatest strength of all.

Athletic Sports Clearance
Are you considering coming out for a Spring season sport? Before you can participate in tryouts, you must complete the online clearance at Home Campus. Both parents and athlete will need to finish the online application and upload your current sports physical. Don't delay! We don't want you to miss out on participating in Lions athletics.
F.A.Q. (Frequently asked Questions) about Athletic Clearances
Want to play a sport at BVCS?
Complete online information and signatures on homecampus.com
Upload your current (within 1 year) sports physical onto homecampus.com
You do not need to turn in any paperwork to the office. It is all done online.
You will receive an email from Home Campus notifying you that you are cleared.
Home Campus does not alert the Athletic Office when you complete your portion of the clearance process.
Please note that we are the ones who manually mark student-athletes as “cleared.” If you do not receive an email confirming your clearance, that means you're not cleared yet.
If you have any questions or believe there’s an error, feel free to contact michellec@bvcs.org to check on your athlete's clearance status
Student-athletes will not be allowed to participate in tryouts, practices, or games until this information is complete and you are cleared.
Does the clearance from last year still work the next year?
No, it does not carry over
If the sports physical has not expired yet and I uploaded it last year, do I have to upload it again this year?
Yes, we cannot see the previous year's documentation. Each year is separate. You can upload that same physical from the previous school year if it is still valid.
If the sports physical expires mid-season, do we need a new physical?
Yes, we are alerted when it expires, and the athlete cannot continue to participate in any physical activity until a new one has been uploaded.
All the athletes on this wall have played 12 sports in their high school career: 3 sports per year for all 4 years in high school. This award is recognized with a lifetime Lions pass that gets you into all Lions home games for free for life and we put your name on this wall to celebrate you. Being a 12 sport athlete is no small feat and requires dedication to sport and to academics to manage that intense load. We are proud of all our 12 sport award winners and challenge you to be one too!
