| Athletics Congratulations to our 8th Grade Boys Basketball Team who won the 2007 NCPL Championship!!! Last year, NCA 7th and 8th grade coaches, players and parents received the Jim Kane Sportsmanship Award from the North Central Parish League! Votes were cast by all coaches, officials & NCPL coordinators who judge discipline, attitude and overall experience at home gyms. Also in 2006, the NCA 5th Grade Boys Basketball team came in third place in the Big Ten Division!
