Corn, OKLA.–The Corn Bible Academy Lady Crusaders had their season ended Saturday night, February 27, at Chickasha High School with a 56-49 loss to Hammon in the Area Consolation Finals. The loss left the Lady Crusaders one game short of their first trip ever to the Class B State Championships.
In the Consolation Finals, the Lady Crusaders fell behind 17-9 after one quarter but battled back to trail 24-20 at halftime. CBA was able to cut two more points off of Hammon’s lead after three quarters, trailing by a 37-35 score. Turnovers and shaky defense hurt the team in the fourth quarter. Jessica Penner led CBA in scoring with 17 points while Emily Dick had 12 and Ellie Troyer 11. Dick with 11 and Penner with 9 led the Lady Crusaders in rebounding.
In Thursday’s opening round of the Area Consolation bracket at Chickasha High School, the Lady Crusaders beat Earlsboro 68-34 behind Emily Dick’s 21 points and 18 rebounds. Jessica Penner chipped in 18 points and Alyssa Friesen added 10 points as CBA jumped to an 18-6 lead after the first quarter and never trailed in the game.
In Friday’s game against Big Pasture, Skyler Voss had three straight steals and lay-ups to spark CBA to a 27-5 advantage in the second quarter. The Crusaders led 36-9 at halftime and finished with a 61-44 win. Jessica Penner with 18 points, Emily Dick with 17 points, and Skyler Voss with 10 points and four steals led the team.

Corn, OKLA.– On January 20-23, Corn Bible Academy student Joshua Hall participated in the Oklahoma Music Educators Association (OMEA) High School All State Mixed Choir. The event took place during the OMEA State Convention at the Performing Arts Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This culminated an extremely rigorous audition process during the past three months with at least 2000 students from across the state auditioning for the mixed choir and the women’s choir. Joshua sang first tenor in the prestigious mixed choir with 200 members.
Joshua, a junior from Corn, is the son of Martin and Jill Hall of Corn, and has been a part of the All State Mixed Chorus for the past five years, three years in the junior high chorus and the past two as a member of the high school chorus. He plans to audition for his sixth and final year in 2010-2011. Being a member of an All State Choir is very influential in the pursuit of college scholarships in the field of music.
The choir rehearsed for a total of 15 hours during the three day event under the direction of Granville Oldham, a master teacher for the School for the Performing Arts in Bermuda. His duties include conducting a Chamber singing group, boy’s choir, girl’s choir, and he provides private voice instruction and vocal coaching in his studio.
The program consisted of the following pieces of music: Jubilate Deo by Gabrieli, Kantata #50, a german arrangement, by J.S. Bach, Wedding Cantata in four movements by Daniel Pinkham, If Music Be the Food of Love by Jean Belmont, La Passeggiata with a French text by Rossini and Jennings, and finally Hold On by Moses Hogan.
Joshua was accompanied by his choir director, Charles Regier who directs the junior high and senior high vocal and instrumental music at Corn Bible Academy. Mr. Regier is assisted by Todd Smith. While Joshua attended rehearsals, Mr. Regier was able to participate in the Music Educators National Conference, an annual convention at the Tulsa Convention Center. Mr. Regier said, “One comes away from a convention of this nature with new ideas, renewing friendships, and the inspiration to do an even better job in the classroom. This is what I want to do for my students as we go through the second semester.”
