NOAH Events: Nov 7-13

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 (map)
  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 (map). 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.
