Football: First Baptist - First Home Game Ever!


Well, a brand new Football program at First Baptist Academy of Naples holds it's first home game at it's brand new field on Orange Blossom Drive in Naples. The Lions hosted the Knights from Highlands Christian School of Pompano Beach. Neither team had the other on the schedule a few days ago, but FBA lost it's scheduled competitor, Sarasota Out Of Door because of Rosh Hashana, and Highlands scheduled competitor could not field a team.


FBA came into the match after two large defeats on the road, and having never scored an offensive touchdown. In this game, the Lions offense was much improved, scoring 3 touchdowns, and twice making successful 2-point conversions. The Knights scored 4 touchdowns and a field goal to win 31 to 22.


FBA's improvement in just it's third game gave great enjoyment to a large crowd in an entertaining match, and creates a hopeful atmosphere as the school readies for it's "homecoming" game next Friday.
