So my wife and daughter return from a volleyball match between my daughter's middle school and a renowned Christian school in Seattle...a school that, in fact, recruits even at the middle school level for players. In comes our school's volleyball teams (7th & 8th grades) and they are immediately booed and heckled by boys and girls alike. No intervention by their coaches or present teachers. They are known for this...they have a reputation for this kind of behavior.
Talk about wearing your Christianity on your sleeve...this is the ultimate. Attend a renowned Christian school and get coached on how to intimidate opposing teams with unsportsmanslike conduct?
You know the question...
You feel it coming...
What would Jesus think? The Lord and Savior per Scripture. What would He say?
Yep...come to our (public) school and see how we treat our own hecklers. We ask our own to leave when they engage in such behavior. We pay attention and work to promote good sportsmanship in our teams and our supporters.
The lesson? Well, they creamed us...no doubt they are good...why not simply be that good and win? Why must they engage in such shameful bad behavior? Why not just be good and be happy about it?
So much for being a school for the King.

More likely a "Religious School" than a real "Christian School" and their behavior proves it.
