Mr. Matt Kellogg Mr. Matt Kellogg has been the assistant women's basketball coach since 2001. Before coming to CCC, Coach Kellogg refereed high school and college basketball in Northeast Pennsylvania for 12 years, where he taught high school mathematics. He considers it a great privilege to be able to use basketball as a means to challenge young people in their Christian walk.

Playing sports at CCC is a wonderful opportunity to not only represent the college, but also to play for God and His glory. Team devotions before practice gets the day started "on the right foot" so to speak. Our coach always challenges us to develop spiritually as well as physically. Being a Christian athlete carries a huge responsibility: being able to give your all not for yourself or for personal glory, but for the team and, more importantly, for God's glory.
more...As I play, I try to remember that I represent CCC with my actions, and I do my best to properly reflect CCC with those actions in everything I do. It is so easy to lose sight of this, and it is a constant day-to-day sacrifice to play for the audience of One. Through CCC athletics, I found that I really need to make most of the time I have and get things done ahead of schedule to avoid getting behind when the season gets really busy. I will definitely miss being a part of a team when I graduate. |
