Lady Cougars Playing Well

Coach Mike Harrell's Grace Christian Academy Lady Cougars basketball team boasted a strong 11-3 record as they began the post holiday portion of their schedule Tuesday against the Open Bible Christian School Lady Warriors in Valdosta.
After playing the Byne Christian School Saints Thursday in Albany and the Tallavana Christian School Lady Lions Friday in Havana, FL, they will begin their post holiday home schedule with a Tuesday, Jan. 11, game against Gateway Lighthouse Christian Academy.
Harrell expressed great pleasure with his teams play in the early part of the season. "We finished the first half of our season with a triple overtime win over Byne Christian Academy, the same team we beat in the Inland Classic Tournament a couple of weeks ago," he said.
"Brock Bailey, our only senior, continues to lead the team well," Harrell said. "She is averaging over 16 points a game along with four rebounds, two steals and four assists a game. Also playing extremely well is Rachel Harrell, who is averaging 14 points, four rebounds, four steals and three assists a game, the coach said. Jocelyn Jacobs and Christy Colvin had career-high 17 rebound games against Byne.

Designing Custom Air Guns

Mr. Stickland's 12th grade physics class enjoyed "showing-off" their recent projects while learning about air resistance, gravity, velocity, angle, and projectile weight. The goal of this experiment was to familiarize the students with how projectiles fly through the air and what effect the elements listed above have on projectiles. The students were divided into 3 groups and asked to design an air cannon/air gun using vector mathematics, hydrodynamics, and pneumatics that would launch a 6 pound projectile to a pre-determined distance. All 3 cannons were different and each one functioned flawlessly. The overall maximum range achieved, firing the cannons at a 45 degree angel and using 50psi of air pressure, was 175 yards. What a great example of "hand-on" learning...fun was had by all!

MS Students enjoy Pebble Hill & Museum

The 7th & 8th grades students enjoyed a wonderful adventure to Thomasville learning about South GA history and Plantation life in the late 1800's and early 1900's. They visited the Thomas County Museum of History where they learned about the early years of Thomas, Grady and Decatur Counties and then had the wonderful opportunity to visit one of South GA's most famous plantations - Pebble Hill Plantation. Here the students got a first hand look at the how the wealthy lived and why so many northerners migrated to the south for their winter homes and recreational hunting.
