ATHLETIC DIRECTOR - BILLY SPARACIO
FBA Sports: Football (Head Coach), Track and Field (Head Coach)
I give thanks to the Lord for what He is doing in this place. To see God's hand of blessing being poured out on this campus has been awesome. May we, His people, give Him all the glory for what He has done and will do as we follow His lead.
I am personally thankful for the opportunity to serve as the Athletic Director here a First Baptis Academy. May we never cease to strive to give nothing but our best for His glory (4HG). We must always use athletics as a platform where student-athletes will develop strong Christian character and a biblical wordview; striving to reach individual at team excellence in the athletic arena, while reaching our community for Jesus Christ.
For His Glory!
