Basketball Season Is Underway

NOAH is presenting one of our largest basketball programs, in 2011-12. A.D. Chris Moody and his leadership team have undertaken some significant expansion this year.

Broken Arrow Public Schools also arrange courts for NOAH's leasing.

To stay informed of NOAH's basketball schedules, subscribe to the basketball blog and especially the basketball calenders you find on the basketball blog.

The basketball leadership will keep the calendars and blog current for all the latest news regarding Jaguar Basketball.

Boys Spring Soccer

The initial schedule for our 2012 season is now posted on the Soccer Blog. We may add a couple extra games if we can, but as of now we have 12 regular games and two tournaments.

If you are interested in playing with the High School boys team this spring, please contact Coach Jim Moore as soon as possible. We are currently in an indoor league to get in shape, but practices will begin in January.

NOAH Completes Football
Ranked National #1

www.NHFCS.org

The toughest schedule in all of Oklahoma Prep Football has just completed. NOAH earned that distinction by playing with fearless enthusiasm. While it did no favors to the win-loss ratio, NOAH did gain a high ranking for how the team faced their opponents. Every team which did prevail against the 2011 varsity is a playoff-bound team. 3 of the 6 teams are still undefeated and favored to prevail in state tournament match-ups. The logistical hurdles make postseason homeschool competitions very costly and difficult to partake in, in a manner NOAH Football leadership believes it ought to be done.

Homeschool Rankings

As a result, the 100 or so homeschool football organizations are left with no perfect options for determining a national champion. Just as college football relies heavily upon polls, Homeschool football is fortunate to have media outlets available with the resources to determine a National Champion. NOAH has been that triumphant champion for the past 3 years and appears to be well-positioned for a forth national championship honor.

See the chart below, to learn more about the nation's finest homeschool football organizations.

President Sabatini

NOAH Parents,

I hope the 2011-12 school year is going well for everyone. Whether you are wrapping up, in the middle of, or preparing for your season We pray that this season is the most God glorifying NOAH season ever!

The NOAH Board would like to invite any parents interested to attend this months board meeting which will be held on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm at Tulsa Hills Church, located at 840 W 81st St., Tulsa, OK 74132 ()

The topic the NOAH board requests your input on is.....DEFINING NOAH ELIGIBILITY.

With the landscape of homeschooling broadening all around us, it is imperative that we prayerfully set the course for the near future of NOAH athletics regarding some foundational questions. As players, parents, coaches, Athletic Directors and Board Members we are all being ask on an increasing basis "Who can play for NOAH?", "How do we define Homeschooling?" "Who does NOAH serve?" even........"What is the purpose of NOAH?"

Homeschool organizations across the country are working through the same issues. Decisions on how to define homeschooling for eligibility purposes are varied, ranging from a simple question being ask of each family such as "Do you homeschool 51% of the time?" to a more detailed look at how, when and where a family educates are being used to determine eligibility. As you all know there are many more homeschooling options today for a family to consider then when NOAH was formed a dozen years ago. We all have kids involved in or families coming to us with questions regarding NOAH eligibility of student athletes that are being educated from home via online courses in both public, private and charter programs, some part time others full time. The same is to be said regarding Tutorial Centers and Co-Ops. The trend around us seems to be only broadening so the need for us to set the course is at a all time high.

If you are interested in attending, please mark your calendars, make arrangements and come with your thoughts ready to be expressed on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm on Tuesday, October 25th at 7:30pm at Tulsa Hills Church, located at 840 W 81st St., Tulsa, OK 74132 (). The Board greatly values and needs your input, guidance and prayers!

NOAH Volleyball Finishes High in National Competition

The Jaguar volleyball squads lived up to their highest expectations last weekend, with the varsity making the elite list in the Quarter Finals of 6A championship competition. Four pools were drawn up for seeding purposes early in the 4-day event. NOAH performed well enough to be selected to the championship bracket. Their only loss in pool play was to eventual national champion, Crossroads Crusaders of Chicago.

Head Coach Eddie Redden and daughter, Sophie

The 6A Championship bracket draw was not friendly to NOAH; pitting the Jaguars girls against the #1 ranked perennial powerhouse, Parker-Tarrant Warriors of Ft. Worth.
The JV squad placed 2nd in 3A competition, while the Junior High squad placed 2nd in 5A (6th over all in JH).
While NOAH's varsity did eventually place 7th, they matched their pretournament national rankings per CBS Sports' MaxPreps Freeman Rankings.

More significantly, NOAH Volleyball is among the top 1/3 of all teams (public & private) in both Oklahoma and the nation at large. In just 4 years Athletic Director Raeann Heath and the dedicated coaching & volunteer staff have led a great group of girls to very significant accomplishments.

NOAH Football Leads Homeschool Rankings

The Oct. 24th MaxPreps Rankings just placed Tulsa NOAH Homeschool at the top of the rankings chart of Homeschool Teams. While some have been disappointed at the win-loss record, a closer study shows that the Jaguars have the toughest schedule on all of Oklahoma prep football. Four on the losses came to teams who are still undefeated late in the season. Two of the losses came to teams who lead their state's rankings of all teams in all classes. Five of the losses came from teams in the top 10 in class rankings.

NOAH's toughest opponent in homeschool rankings (Maryland Christian) fell 1000 spots below the Jaguars, in today's ratings update. Most homeschool teams do not play highly enough ranked schedules to allow their rankings to reach NOAH's level.

NOAH JV vs Cascia

NOAH's Junior Varsity will complete their 2011 schedule Monday night at Cascia Hall. Last year's matchup came down to the wire against the powerful Comandos. Gametime is 6pm at Cascia Hall.

NOAH Varsity vs Union JV

NOAH's big showdown with Union's 2nd team will be a 7pm, Thursday. The Tulsa Homeschool Band will join our fans in the stands. Local media will be following this historic matchup. NOAH is 2-2 over the past 4 years. The winner is usually determined by less than 3 points.

NOAH Flag Football Playoffs

This Saturday is the Title Day for flag football. NOAH has always been a top contender in the Rejoice League. Come out and cheer on the boys at 9am, in Owasso.

NOAH Football Webcasting Live Coverage of Varsity

NOAH has recently unveiled a live network of varsity action for football fans.

After extensive several months of securing and testing the needed resources, NOAH now provides live coverage of out-of-town games, via www.NOAHjags.org

The network seeks to link into local broadband where accessable, When that is not available, the fall back is on a mobile phone 3G connection. Occasionally the crew is left with no more than a primitive EDGE data connection.

"Broadband allows us to stream a live picture and play-by-play; said David Van, Public Relations director for NOAH Football. "3G limits us to a 'radio broadcast' & less than that, and we resort to text and Twitter updates."

Jerome Davis, calling the action at Bethany

Jerome Davis, of the football operations, serves as the voice of the Jaguars. David Van adds color commentary and production for the network

Join us this Thursday as we travel to McAlester to take on top ranked 5A powerhouse. Vancraft Professional Services underwrites the production expenses, making this a free service to the NOAH community.

Fall National Volleyball

& Cross Country

NOAH Volleyball will travel to Springfield next week, to compete in the Homeschool National Tournament. The highly ranked Jaguar squads will be very competitive in the annual finale.

Some NOAH families are making plans to participate in the Homeschool Cross Country tournament(also taking place in Springfield). NOAH does not currently have an active team in distance running, but that may change as families continue to express a desire to make running sports a part of their student-athletes' homeschooling.

Oklahoma Homeschool Athletic Access Bill Being Considered

The Daily Oklahoman reports the following, last Tuesday:

CAPITOL BRIEF
Homeschool sports are examined
Tim Tebow utilized a Fla.
law, to play at a public
school while being
homeschooled.
Two families asked lawmakers Tuesday to allow homeschool students to participate in sports. They said taxes paid by homeschool families already support the programs. “If homeschool families sent students to the local school, the students would be allowed to participate in sports programs, so there is no extra cost to granting homeschool students access,” said Rep. Gus Blackwell, R-Laverne, who requested a legislative study on the issue. Members of the Roger Fischer family of Hooker and the Scott Arthaud family of Keys asked the panel to support passing a “Tim Tebow” law, named for the former University of Florida quarterback. As a child, Tebow was homeschooled, but under Florida law he was allowed to participate in sports activities at his local school. Under Blackwell's proposal, homeschool students would be required to register their intent to participate in sports with the local school before the beginning date of the season. Blackwell said he plans to work with the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association and its member schools to come up with guidelines.

This is an interesting development, especially for very rural homeschoolers in South and West portions of Oklahoma, but it could create unforeseen difficulties for existing homeschool organizations and even more unwanted entanglements for families who choose to comply with public school requirements. We'll be watching this issue as it develops during the 2011 legislative session.

Volleyball Prepares for National Tourney

NOAH Volleyball remains ranked 9th in Oklahoma 4A for the coming week. Last Saturday the varsity girls lost a close match to Oklahoma City Storm (5th-ranked in 4A). As the season enters the final weeks, the Jaguars will finish the season in Springfield, MO for the Homeschool Nationals. In 4 years NOAH has become one of the stronger prep teams in all of Oklahoma.

Homeschool Football National Rankings

Maxpreps updates their national rankings late each Sunday night. Tulsa NOAH Homeschool is pleased to be solidly in first place among the 100 or so homeschool teams on the compiled lists. NOAH's difficult schedule is heavily factored into the computer rankings and scoring points against top national teams is one aspect of garnering good reviews. NOAH's schedule is the toughest in all of Oklahoma prep football. We congratulate the boys for playing with heart and dedicating themselves to be their best.

The Man In The Arena

2011-10-02T00:50:00.000-05:00

THE MAN IN THE ARENA

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Pres. Theodore Roosevelt

(Excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic", delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910)

This weekend, NOAH teams competed with the very best in Oklahoma. Defending state champions, top-ranked favorites, and worthy opponents. We celebrate the opportunity to play the best. We choose to continue believing in our teams. We thank all those who believe with us for great things to come, and we continue to work together, to make our collective dreams come true.

NOAH's volleyball and football teams continue to rank highly in Oklahoma.

Volleyball Having Big Year

NOAH Volleyball is carrying great momentum into the final segment of the Fall season. The Jaguar Varsity Girls have won their last 6 matches by a combined score of 18-2. This week the girls have a big event on Saturday, NOAH takes part in a 3-way tourney with the defending OCSAA champions, Regent Prep, along with the combined homeschool powerhouse of Oklahoma City Storm/Norman Mustangs.

Norman's roster shortfall did not allow them to fill a complete team this year, so they joined forces with an already-formidable Okla. City Storm team.

The "Storman" varsity squad is one of only 2 teams who've defeated the young Jaguar team. Last week NOAH overcame a huge hurdle, finally defeating an always-tough Metro Christian team, who'd defeated the NOAH girls earlier in the season.

The time & locations of this Saturday's competitions are posted on the Calendar. Regent will host the varsity event at Jenks East Intermediate 3933 E 91st St, Tulsa

Jaguar Football Playing In The 'Big League'

The NOAH varsity squad is honored to be on the schedules of the top teams in Oklahoma and the nation. Last Friday, NOAH traveled to Dallas to play the #6 team in the nation, DeSoto, High School. While the score was not favorable, the team learned much and the players are growing from every experience. Coach Blankenship tells the boys; "You have to play good teams to challenge yourselves to get better". NOAH has the most difficult schedule in all of Oklahoma prep football.

This Friday, NOAH hosts the #1 and current 3A champion, Heritage Hall. Many may know the team's most recognizable running back, Barry Sanders Jr., but the Chargers are very talented at so many positions. Expect statewide media outlets to be covering the game. Jaguar Football is inviting The NOAH Basketball & Volleyball squads as our honored guests.

NOAH FCA Huddles are back

Whether you're currently in a sport or not, we welcome you to these monthly meetings.
