Norfolk Academy celebrated its fall athletics season on November 17, and what a season it was!

🏆435 student-athletes in grades 7-12

🏆5 TCIS conference championships (out of 8 sports)

🏆4 TCIS Player of the Year honors

🏆3 TCIS Coach of the Year honors

🏆A growing list of All-State honors

🏆More than 114 hours of games broadcast on NA-TV

Even more significantly, student-athletes grew as teammates and leaders, showing the four pillars of NA Athletics: Commitment, Respect, Spirit, and Toughness.

"This season has been about so much more than wins, though we had a lot of those," Director of Athletics Chad Byler said. "It was about the lessons learned, the long bus rides, the late practices, the moments of challenge and triumph, and the bonds that forged through shared effort and determination."
