Sports Banquet Winners 2005 Sports Awards!!!

A Spectacular Multi-Media Event!

In all over 300 awards and tokens were handed out from the U-8 participation pins, the medals, and those Flamer Awards!. Presenters announced each secretly-guarded nominee list by category before the two large screens showed video clips of each candidate. Suspense reigned supreme as winners were announced only after each presenter opened his envelope.



Coach Harding from Centreville energized the crowd with a brief but positive upbeat challenge on playing for God's purpose.


32 Flamers Receive Their Varsity Letter
In recognition of achieving Varsity status, Coach Davis presented this 3-color Chenille letter "F" to Varsity soccer and basketball players. This tradition is used in all kinds of schools, designating that student as a "letterman" ; or that player is known to have lettered (one or more times). The pins that we hand out at Awards Night are designed to attach to these letters.

Traditionally, the chenille letter is stitched to a Varsity (or Lettermen) jacket. Other options are the Cardigan sweater/vests; or some mount the letter and pins under glass.

2004 Sports Awards Banquet

Banquet Committee Shines!
Spectacular! Our banquet committee simply outdone themselves! Their Medieval theme included a full-stage replica of a castle, complete with drawbridge and windows! Attendees were seated in a banquet hall arrangement of long rows of tables. Tables were dressed with white coverings and various dry flowers.

Despite a scheduling conflict that resulted in no guest speaker this year, HSPN made up for it by including individual sports pins (soccer and basketball) to all players from all the Flames teams As each team gathered on the stage, coaches handed out the pins. Each team posed for a photo then exited the stage as the next team was being introduced.

The sports pins were a preview of things to come....

Concluding the event, Coach Davis presented his daughter Lindsay with a Varsity Lettermen's Jacket. Coach proudly announced that HSPN has made arrangements for future Flamers to order their personal Lettermen jacket.

Multimedia and Live Entertainment
Following dinner, the Shenandoah University Youth Choir, New Hope Praise Band, LTP Youth Band and NightSun band entertained the nearly 200 attendees.

Before kicking off the awards cermony, Coach Davis, played the CBS Early News video that aired on January 30, 2004. During dessert, a slide show created by Lindsay Davis projected photos from the 2003-04 sports seasons. Then came FLAMES MOVIE 2, an annual treat produced and edited by Casey Davis.


2003 Sports Awards Banquet

Two American Heroes Speak to the Large Banquet Crowd
With what had to be one of the top surprises of the night, Lance Corporal Elijah Huston shared the night with a crowd of over 130 people. Earlier, keynote speaker, Sam Redfern arrived to a thunderous standing ovation. Minutes later, the same treatment was directed to Mr. Huston.

Both had the opportunity to address the crowd. Elijah implored the older youth to obey parental authority, to continue to study hard, and to enjoy sports. He spoke as a man with conviction towards God's will, and from experience as a disciplined soldier.

The keynote address was delivered by Army Specialist Sam Redfern. Sam spoke eloquently about the importance of Christian influence at home, school and sports. His endorsement and compliments to HSPN and the Flames sports organization was a humbling moment for Coach Davis and all the families. Sam spoke about being homeschooled in Montana and enjoying homeschool sports there. Led by his father, the sports scene took off and offers one of the most robust state-led sports programs in the nation. Sam also mentioned his role as Chaplain NCO for the Army.

A Multimedia Event and Live Entertainment
As banquet guests managed to be seated, they enjoyed the sounds of the LTP, a Teen Christian band featuring 4 guys from the Flames Varsity team. As the crowd moved its way through the food line, NightSun entertained with three songs.

Mid-way through dinner, the crowd was treated with a huge projected slide show that filled the back wall of the church. In recognization of the Flames 10th Anniversary, Lindsay Davis created a 20-minute slide show with a sound track. It featured photos of Flames and Lady Flames from 1993 through 2003.

The keynote address was presented after dinner. Awards were then handed out. (Winners are listed on the left). And then came the moment everyone was waiting for, but had no clue what they were in for.

"The Flames Movie" was a project put together by Casey Davis. An 11-minute professionally edited movie was projected on the "big screen" aka church wall. It featured clips of Flames games during the 2002-03 sports season. There were bloopers, buzzer beaters, hard fouls, and a whole lot of comedy. There were outbursts of laughter from the large crowd as well as cheers.


Army Specialist Samuel Redfern to Deliver Keynote Address
Sam Redfern has worked for the Home School Legal Defense Association for nearly 7 years in various roles, most recently serving as Manager of the Congressional Action Program. Born and raised in Montana, he is the oldest of 10 children and a home school graduate, having been home schooled from the beginning, and now resides in small-town Purcellville, Virginia. He currently serves in the Chaplain Corps of the US Army as a reservist and loves the Lord Jesus more than anything else in life. Mr. Redfern is the coach of the men's basketball team at Patrick Henry College and is an athletic competitor in different venues like windsurfing, running, basketball and softball.
