Campion Academy's student body traveled to Denver this past Saturday night for the annual Mile High versus Campion basketball games. The games were close; Mile High won the girl’s varsity game and Campion won the boys varsity matchup.
Typically, the annual basketball game between the sister-schools takes place at the Ball Arena Stadium; however due to scheduling issues, this year they were held in the Mile High gym. Despite not being in a professional arena, the schools were able to include more elements to provide interaction between the two schools. The evening offered sundown worship, interactive activities with the crowd, and time for the schools to commemorate the lasting tradition of gathering together while playing high-energy games. Decked out in all black, the Campion student section cheered on the varsity teams, encouraging them from the bleachers. First on the court was the girls’ varsity team. The game was neck-and-neck with Team Captain Catie Fairfield almost tying the score with two free throws in the final seconds. In the end, the Campion girl's team lost by one point, but felt proud that they played some tough competitors. Fairfield, senior, expressed, “It was really intense and I think it was good for our teams to face competition because we hadn't played against a team where a game was that close.” Between the basketball games, Mile High held some activities for the crowd which included a gift card prize for the winning participant. The games kept the crowd hyped as both Campion and Mile High students joined. The boys' teams began their game with Campion taking the lead right away, and while Mile High kept on fighting, Campion maintained the lead throughout the game. The final score was 46 to 28 with the Campion boys team taking the win. Izuchi Nwankwo, sophomore, shared, “I felt really happy because it's an old Campion rivalry, so it feels good to win!” Both teams displayed passion and spirit on the court showing their love for the game. Brayden Marroquin, junior, reflected, “There was good energy between both schools and the crowds were going crazy. I think there was good sportsmanship between the two teams, which was the best part.” Eva Resz, Student News Team

Quiz Created by Vashty Segovia Santos, Student News Team  God is the most important relationship in our life; it should be a priority for us to find ways to grow closer to Him. You can’t expect to know Him better if you aren’t constantly putting time and effort in. While there are numerous ways to do this, these are the five that I have found to work in my own personal life.
Consistently spend time in His Word The Bible is God's direct way of speaking to us. It teaches us about His character and gives us the most beneficial way to live. When we apply these Biblical instructions to our lives, we will see noticeable, positive change. We need to open our hearts up, and give God the chance to speak to us. Another helpful thing is to memorize scripture. That way when we are put into certain situations God can put that scripture into our mind and help lead us. Pray in everything When we go throughout our day talking to God, we invite God into our hearts, and we learn to trust Him more. Just like in any human relationship it takes time and communication to build a bond. The same applies to our relationship with Jesus. Praying to Gods helps us to fight temptations and get through trials because He will strengthen us. He tells us this in Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God”. Lastly, when we pray we should also praise God for all the blessings He gives us. Prayer journals are a great way we can look back and see the prayers that God answered. Ask God to free you from sins See what temptations are holding you back from drawing closer to Him. Sin is anything that can separate us from God. When we choose to deny our fleshly desires then we will see progress in our choices and lifestyle. We can’t fight sin on our own so we must call upon God to ask for help. By His grace and mercy He will forgive us of our sins, but that doesn’t mean we should take advantage of it. Serve others Jesus came down to serve us and we should do the same. Serving is our way of putting others before ourselves and recognizing that people are in need of help. Humbly serving others can also open up our eyes to things God has done in our life. It is another form of gratitude. Serving can be done through multiple ways such as encouraging the people around you, volunteering at your church or anywhere, or spreading the gospel. Live in the Spirit While doing all of these things will help us to grow with God, living and inviting the Spirit into our lives is ultimately one of the best things you can do for yourself. Walking in accordance to the Spirit will help us to create that intimacy with God. Setting our minds on things above this world and trusting God will provide, is how we can truly be followers of Jesus. Carlos Santana, chaplain, encourages us “to have God lead our lives in everything that we do. Before we even try to take that step, we should have God lead that step. That's what living in the Spirit is.” God is so good to us and wants to have a relationship with us. Trust in Him and He will bless you even through life’s challenges. Catie Fairfield, Student News Team  At the beginning of a new year, getting healthier is on a lot of our minds. Many of the students at Campion have made commitments to a regular exercise routine. Are you interested in improving your physical fitness? Here are 5 tips to help you:
1. Make a schedule to work out With our busy routine at Campion, it is important to make a plan of when you are going to work out during the week. Checking your schedule is the first step to take before you create your workout plan. If you have a free period between classes, write in “workout” on your schedule and head to the weight room for that hour consistently, just like it is a class commitment. 2. Stop ordering doordash Fast food delivery orders are really common here at Campion, but if you want to start going to the gym and make gains, you should stop ordering junk food, otherwise you will not make any progress. Make it a point to eat more vegetables off the salad bar, and add in some protein shakes for when you are hungry and the cafeteria is closed. 3. Work hard Reaching your physical goals requires a lot of hard work and dedication to what you really want. Start slowly, get used to lifting weights, and learn correct form. When you feel confident and begin to increase your weight, you will start to notice changes that you have been making at the gym. 4. Focus on priorities Working out takes a lot of your dedicated time, but that DOES NOT mean that you should spend more time at the gym than studying. Doing your homework and studying for tests will lead you to success at Campion. If you feel good about yourself in other areas of your life, you will be more willing to keep working hard and eating healthfully. 5. Think about sleep One of the main pillars of health is sleep. Staying up until midnight or later will make you tired and you won’t have enough energy for the next school day. If you get at least eight hours of sleep, your muscles will recover and you will be able to perform better in your work out time. Regular exercise has so many benefits; it’s not all about what you look like. So, get out of your room and get active this semester! Pedro Vieira, Student News Team |
