© JMS 2012 Basketball Schedule Soccer Schedule JMS Athletics Philosophy  The athletic program at JMS exists to provide physical training to students while affording the opportunity to benefit from a setting that expects participants to: learn to work as part of a team, learn to interact with teammates, coaches, officials, opponents and spectators with sportsmanship that honors Christ, develop a healthy individual work ethic, and use abilities to bring glory to God and God alone. JMS believes one direct outcome of the athletic program is its witness in the community.  This manifests itself through the manner in which the game is played and the attitudes and actions of both participants and fans.  It is the responsibility of each participant and spectator to represent JMS with a Christ-like demeanor at all times.
