As we turn the page to a new season of Boys Basketball, we want to take a moment to honor and thank Coach Hibbard. Over the past eight years, Coach Hibbard has left an undeniable mark on this program. He guided our boys to multiple sectional titles and a regional championship, but his impact went far beyond the scoreboard. He has been a steadfast spiritual leader, pouring into these young men and creating memories that will last a lifetime. As this chapter closes, we are filled with excitement for what God has ahead for him cheering on his daughter and embracing the next season of life. Thank you, Coach Hibbard, for everything you have poured into this program. You led well.

Elkhart Christian Academy is excited to announce the next chapter of our Boys Basketball program and welcome Dan Henigsmith as our new Head Boys Basketball Coach! Coach Henigsmith has been a part of the ECA family for 3 years, serving as our JV Head Coach. During that time, he has demonstrated what it means to be a servant leader who seeks Christ first and we believe he is the right man to lead this program forward. His ability to build lasting relationships and bring out the best in those around him are just a few of the qualities that made Coach Henigsmith stand out. We are excited to see how God uses him as he steps into this new role. Please join us in congratulating Coach Henigsmith and welcoming him to the next chapter of ECA Basketball!
