I vividly remember the Cowboys' 3 most recent Super Bowl wins, and I was thrilled when the Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat to win the 2011 NBA Finals. Baylor's 4 combined National Championships in women's and men's basketball brought me great JOY. And I still feel the agonizing pain of how close the Rangers came to winning the 2011 World Series - "one strike away" multiple times.

But, as we discussed in part 1, sports is so much more than these things. In part 2, Davis Beaver shares about recruiting, assembling a team, Team One (the inaugural team at ABU) and Team Two - this year's team that begins regional play TODAY (May 5th) as it looks to earn a trip to the NCCAA World Series. Coach Beaver's passion for sports and coaching comes through clearly, but even more so, I hope you'll catch his care for his players and his desire to help them become the amazing people God has created them to be.

As I mentioned last week, I'm grateful for the opportunity I've had to get to know, serve, and love these players, and I look forward to sharing a little bit about them with you!
