THE NEW LIFE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM RECORDS ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON!

Gabriel Lucena • March 17, 2026

The New Life Christian School 2025/26 girls’ basketball season was one of overcoming the challenges of youth and inexperience. Following last year’s most successful season in our history, which culminated in the Small School Division NCSAA Invitational Championship, everyone realized that this season would be an uphill struggle. Returning only one starter from that unprecedented 2024/25 team would necessitate our roster to be filled with young girls with mostly limited basketball experience. Fortunately, the one returning starter was veteran point-guard and high scorer, Marci Hutter. Without a cohesive, experienced cast of teammates around her, Marci’s resume was expanded to assume a more extensive role as leader, mentor, and encourager to her new teammates with inspiring results.


This year’s team finished with an impressive record of 16-1, including wins over some perennial excellent teams. The culmination of the season was a highly contested, nail-biter championship game over the Rochester Rapids, 58-52, leading to the Greater Finger Lakes Christian Athletic Association Girls’ Playoff Championship, which also secured all-star team honors for Marci, and teammates, Naa Shormeh Hanson-Nortey and Lovelina Obeng. The teams’ hard work and perseverance paid off in a triumphant finish to the season.

Their journey included victories over public, private, and home-school teams, as well as securing the Greater Finger Lakes Christian Athletic Association (GFLCAA) title. Marci Hutter earned both in-season and tournament MVP honors, leading the team through tough matchups. Their hard work and resilience paid off in a thrilling finish to the season. "I cannot express how proud I am of our girls! They are a force to be reckoned with!" said Aaron Childs, one of the teachers at New Life.  The boys also performed exceptionally well, finishing their season at 18-10 and capturing the IAC title! In addition, Nii Narku made it to the prestigious Big 30 and will be competing in it this weekend, adding another highlight to the school's outstanding athletic achievements. Congratulations to the team on their remarkable achievements!

New Life Students and Staff Raise Funds for BASCO Orphanage After Devastating Fire in Ghana

By Gabriel Lucena • October 2, 2024
Students and staff of New Life are excited about the accomplishment of making and selling corn bags with which they raised all of the needed money for the BASCO children's home in Ghana, West Africa after a fire destroyed the kitchen roof, cooking equipment and utensils. Thankfully, there were no injuries. The Ghana team wanted very much to help in a tangible way. This is the children's home where our team spends time helping, teaching, and loving children during their "Ghana trips." Please pray for our friends at BASCO as they rebuild and thank God for His protection and His provision.
