Fans celebrate Danville Christian Academy at the team's first Sweet 16 appearance
LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Just two weeks ago, the Danville Christian Academy community was supporting the girls' basketball team on the big stage, and Wednesday, it got to do the same for the boys'. 'It's like a dream for the parents, students, everyone,' Rachel Dadisman, mother of guard Cole Dadisman, said. DCA has worked hard all season, and the team finally got to play on the floor of Rupp Arena against South Oldham. Supporters said this moment is one they are soaking up with their team, mixing faith with their fandom. 'It's a crazy experience, knowing that such a small school, like with God, we can do anything, make it anywhere, and how far we've come, we can only do it through God,' said Bella Bradshaw, a player on the girls' team.

Danville Christian preparing for its first Sweet 16 appearance
DANVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — The Danville Christian Academy boys' basketball team will make its KHSAA Sweet 16 debut on Wednesday night at Rupp Arena when it takes on South Oldham. 'We work hard. We worked hard ever since we were little. It's been our goal since we were kids. Just make it to Rupp Arena and play in a state championship game,' senior guard Titus Boyd said. 'But it means a lot to us. We're a hardworking group, and we're going to remember this for years to come.' Danville Christian preparing for its first Sweet 16 appearance Cayden Reed nails buzzer-beater to knock off GRC, send Montgomery County to Sweet 16 George Rogers Clark, Frederick Douglass, and Danville Christian are headed to the final four It's been a first season to remember for head coach Shaun Busick. The Indiana native spent three decades coaching in the Hoosier state but made the switch to the Bluegrass in the spring of 2024. So far, Busick has led the Warriors to a 29-3 record and a first-ever 12th Region championship. 'I think the squad's priorities were right. We put God and family first; we put academics second. We put basketball where it belonged in third place,' Busick said. 'I think just that and having great chemistry, a great group of young men.' This time last year, Lyon County had already cut down the nets for its state championship win, but due to Lexington being a host site for the first two rounds of the 2025 NCAA men's tournament, the Sweet 16 was moved back a week. According to Coach Busick, the team has used the time off to their advantage. 'Everybody's feeling pretty good, and we took some time off after we won the region,' Busick said. 'So, I think it's really been helpful for us. We've been really fresh going into this last week, a week and a half of practice.'
