Her individual achievements include: six All-Tournament teams, three All-Stars teams, and two conference MVP titles. Well done Sarah!

O Senior Jen Tenut finishes her own accomplished career setting records in assists and steals, and second in scoring. She has also been selected to six All-Tournament teams, three All-Star selections, and was the 2008 Conference MVP recipient. Way to go Jen!

East Coast Championships:

Our men's varsity basketball team won the 5A Title at the East Coast Home School Basketball Championships held at Liberty University!

This premier home school tournament hosts teams from Virginia, North and South Caroline, Maryland, Georgia, and other eastern states. Senior player Michael Kay earned All-Tournament honors and won the Dunking Competition. Well done Royals!

We congratulate Coach Terry and Cindy Maxwell, and Mark Thompson for a great season.

State Runner-up:

We congratulate our Lady Royals Basketball Team who earned 2nd place at the TN State Homeschool Championships in Nashville. This graduating class represents the most accomplished sports team in Aaron Academy's athletic history.

In eighth grade, they earned 4th place at the Homeschool Nationals in MO. They then completed a three-year run without losing a conference game on their way to earning three conference titles. This year, they earned first at the Chick-fil-A and Maryville Invitational, and a runner up spot at State.

Well done and congratulations Lady Royals!

Lady Royals complete second season:

Congratulations to our girls team after a great second season of match play. Although still a young team, we're looking forward to another great season.

Congratulations to Beth Davis, our leading scorer, and Sara Romans (Defense) and Jen Tenut (Goal Keeping) for earning All-Tournament honors at the National Tournament in Indiana.

Go Lady Royals!

Runner-up:

We congratulate our Royals Baseball Team who earned 2nd place in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Conference tournament!

The Royals finished the season as the number 1 seed team, and were the two-time defending champions. They finished a great season of conference and non-conference play.

We appreciate Coach Voorhies and his staff for a job well done. Let's go Royals!

Royals finish strong!

Our team's "Finish Strong" theme for the football season was taken to heart by each one of our players at the conference finals. The Royals, the underdog against powerhouse Franklin Classical, came just a few yards short of an upset and the conference title. Although the score showed our kids ending the game six points short in a 24-18 final, they amazed 368 total yards against Franklin's 217 total. What a great effort.

We congratulate each of our players for a great season, and earning the runner-up title for the second year in a row. We also recognize Nathan Maxwell in earning the conference MVP on the defensive side, and Darnell Pitts as our third running back ever to rush for over 1,000 yards for the season. Well done and congratulations Royals!

Middle school girls win title!

Following in the tradition of our last year's varsity team, our middle school girls posted come-from-behind upset wins at the conference tournament to win the title! Way to go, girls!

A young and inexperience group of girls peaked at the right time to take home their first middle school championship. We congratulate each of our girls and are already looking forward to their new season this fall. We thank all our coaches and volunteers who helped our players this year.

Well done and congratulations to all our young players. Keep working hard. Go Lady Royals!
