The NHSA Tournament is for high school teams playing 8-man football. It is held annually in Panama City Beach, Florida. This year’s tournament begins Friday, November 10th with teams arriving at Laguna Beach Christian Resort (LBCR) in PCB where they will stay during the tournament. Games will be played on Saturday during the day. Sunday is a rest day with no activities planned. Games will be played again on Monday with the National Championship game ending the tournament. Teams can leave after their games or stay over until Tuesday morning. Teams stay in dorms or houses on LBCR. Parents, families and cheerleaders can stay at LBCR as well as there are numerous hotel rooms, suites and small houses on the campus. Each team is assigned a fully equipped commercial kitchen with dining room where they can prepare their meals, snacks and hold meetings. For meals they can prepare themselves, bring in prepared foods (pizza, bbq, chicken, etc) or go to one of many restaurants located within 10 minutes of LBCR. There is a $140 fee per person (players, coaches, family members) with a maximum of $700 for a family. This fee includes housing for 4 nights and hot breakfast (Saturday, Sunday and Monday).

Evangel Christian Lightning completed their first undefeated season under Coach Tim Smith. The Lightning from Alabaster, Alabama have won 5 NHSA 8-man Champioinships in a row, but were never undefeated during those 4 years leading up to this season. The halftime score of 27-20 in Evangel’s favoor was the first game this season in which the Lightning did not have a big double digit lead. It didn’t take long after halftime to increase that lead as Evangel went on to score 28 point before Freedom got their last score to make it 55-26. The Freedom Cowboys had a great season finishing 12-2 losing only to Evangel earlier in the season and in the NHSA Championship.
