A Season of Connection
The night before a scheduled workout, the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy football squad gathered for a team‑building outing that blended faith, food and fellowship. The group visited a Loveland church, shared a meal at a local restaurant and stopped at a grocery store, where they interacted with coaches and each other in a setting that felt more like a family gathering than a practice.
Head coach Calvin Renfroe took note of the palpable enthusiasm and said the team's heart and the way they love each other are the foundation upon which the season will be built. He emphasized that the bonds formed off the field will translate into trust and cohesion during the grind of a challenging schedule.
Senior quarterback Nolan Lum echoed that sentiment, stating that winning is about more than scores; it is about growing as individuals and embodying the program’s theme of succeeding on the field and in life. His perspective reflects a senior class that has expanded both as athletes and as people over the past four years.
Looking Ahead
The Eagles have embraced a ten‑week regular‑season slate that pits them against a variety of opponents, using each game as an opportunity to improve rather than fixating on postseason expectations. The coaching staff continues to stress leadership, personal development and a relentless work ethic as the primary metrics of success.
Their first test arrives on August 21 when they travel to face Fenwick. The matchup will serve as a litmus test for the chemistry cultivated during the bonding night and the early practices, offering an early glimpse of how the team’s newfound unity will hold up under game‑day pressure.
