Pine Forge Academy's Athletics Program Enters New Era

Story by Pine Forge Academy Staff

The athletics program at Pine Forge Academy (PFA) is taking flight—soaring under new leadership and vision. This past year marked a transformational era under the guidance of Daniel Pierre-Louis, athletics director, who has already begun elevating the “Falcon” experience.

Following the legendary Kris Fielder, who faithfully led the athletics program for 37 years, Pierre-Louis has brought renewed energy and strategy to PFA’s athletics—ushering in a new chapter of excellence.

This year, PFA fielded seven Falcon teams: girls’ and boys’ volleyball, boys’ flag football, boys’ junior varsity and varsity basketball, girls’ varsity basketball, and track and field. 

The girls’ volleyball team—donned in new uniforms—finished as division runner-up. The boys’ junior varsity basketball program returned with great success, reigniting a culture of growth and brotherhood.

The school made history with its inaugural boys’ volleyball team, starting their season 7-0 and finishing third overall within the league. Meanwhile, track and field athletes continued to build strength, and flag football added energy to the fall calendar.

To further unify school spirit, the Athletics Department launched a new website through sideline.bsnsports.com, featuring Falcon apparel and fan gear for students, staff, alumni and supporters. A portion of each sale goes directly to the Athletic Department to help fund uniforms and equipment—blending school pride with support.

The department expanded its online presence through Instagram (@pfa_athletics) and integrated MaxPreps to track athlete stats, helping students gain national exposure. One senior was even offered a Division 1 athletic scholarship. 

At an awards ceremony, several Falcon athletes earned league recognition for their talent and leadership. The event featured heartfelt speeches, live music and community guest speaker Wayne Deegan—a marathon runner and Olympic torchbearer in the 1984 and 1996 games.

As PFA looks ahead, athletics is only getting started. With more programs, deeper engagement and God-centered purpose, the school leaders invite you to pray for them, support in any way possible and share their story.
