Congratulations to the Brookland-Cayce boys and girls soccer teams for earning the 2007 NSCAA Team Academic Award! The boys team posted a 3.93 GPA for 2006-07, while the girls posted a 3.99 GPA!

This marks the third-consecutive year that the boys program has achieved this milestone and the first for the girls program!

From the NSCAA website: A total of 410 soccer teams (148 boys, 262 girls) from throughout the United States have earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award for exemplary performance in the classroom as a team during the 2006-07 academic year. Among these programs are 59 schools receiving honors for both their boys and girls teams. To qualify for the award, the team must have a minimum grade point average of 3.25 for the entire academic year.
