By Matthew Schmuck News from Campbellsville University Athletics CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Normally when talking about football, the guys in the different uniform are a player's sworn arch enemy. However things operate a little differently in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). This is Christian college football. "We celebrate both teams and are proud to call Greenville College and Campbellsville University members of this association," said Dan Wood, NCCAA executive director. "The NCCAA is unique and stands alone as the only national intercollegiate athletics association that uses athletics to serve the Great Commission of Jesus Christ." Friday, November 18, 2011, players and coaches from both Campbellsville University and Greenville College set out in vans and buses to volunteer in the Taylor County and Marion County communities. Together, these Christian student-athletes combined to work over 500 man-hours of community service, as a part of the Christian Service Projects (CSP) required by the Victory Bowl and the NCCAA. Divided and integrated into 12 "teams", the day started early for both Campbellsville and Greenville. First on the agenda: reading and character speeches to elementary and middles schools around the area: Campbellsville Elementary, Campbellsville Middle, Taylor County Middle, Kentucky Christian Academy, Glascock Elementary, Lebanon Elementary and Lebanon Middle. In addition to visiting schools, groups also visited the Healing Place, Bluegrass Assisted Living, Grand View Nursing Home and the Taylor County Food Pantry. Greenville junior wide receiver Cody Hutchin of Portland, OR, volunteered his time at Kentucky Christian Academy. Hutchin gave his testimony to a class of fourth-graders, telling of his upbringing in a divorced household and how that made him tougher along his path to becoming a college football player. He also discussed the importance of never losing faith in God, no matter what happens to you. Sustaining a week five-week knee injury, Hutchin will cheer on his teammates from the sideline in the Victory Bowl on Saturday. "I think [the Victory Bowl] is really cool," said Hutchin. "At first, I just thought this was going to be another game. It seemed like this was going to be just a postseason game. But I think it's really cool what the NCCAA is doing. Aside from the Christian community, this doesn't ever happen; having two football teams come together to eat together and work on service projects together. That in itself should show the power of Christ and show what the love of Jesus and being a Christian is all about. When we can put our differences aside in terms of what society tells us, that we are on different teams and should hate each other; if only for a day. I may not be playing, but I feel that what we did today is more important than what is happening on the field anyway, just being an example of Christ." Hutchin isn't the only CSP participant who thought the day was a success. Campbellsville senior defensive back Jeffrey Demary of Columbia, S.C., also gave his testimony at KCA. Demary relayed to students the importance of hanging out with the "right crowd" in school and how everything will work itself out around such. Heading into his last collegiate game, Demary understands the importance of the Victory Bowl. This will be the senior's final chance at leaving Campbellsville University with a ring, something that he holds very dear to his heart. "There are a lot of mixed emotions that went along with today," said Demary. "But sometimes you just have to learn how to separate your emotions from community service and the emotion of when you get on the field. To be able to do the community service project with guys from another team is special. It brings the unity together and also shows your inner self. But, when we get on the field tomorrow, they are my enemy. We can laugh it up and be friends off the field, but when one o'clock shows up on Saturday, and that horn blows, that's the end. There is no more, it's game time." Campbellsville and Greenville will meet on the gridiron Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 1pmET/12 noon CT for the NCCAA Victory Bowl at HIG Field in Finley Stadium, 204 Tiger Way, Campbellsville, KY. The game will be carried locally by Campbellsville University's WLCU 88.7 FM. This story was posted on 2011-11-19 05:05:36
