Christian Athletic League of America - Home of the Washtenaw Saints

On July 8, 2025, one of our 2024 season Seniors, Xavier Randolph, was unexpectedly born into Eternal Life.  Xavier’s life on Earth was marked by strong faith in, and obedience to, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was an accomplished athlete and fierce competitor but was most well-known for his extraordinary leadership skills.  

While Xavier’s presence is missed, his example remains a high standard for his brother Saints – now and in the future. The 2025 Saints season was dedicated to Xavier, and all of our players wore a sticker on their helmet with Xavier’s initials and jersey number, 21.  After much prayer and discussion, the board decided that we would fashion an award around the most extraordinary thing that Xavier brought to the team:  Leadership.  Leadership demonstrated by dedication, a commitment to excellence, and a Christ based concern for others.  

The men who founded this league wanted more than a way for boys to play football.  They believed we desperately need strong and faithful Chrisitan men in this culture and wanted to teach young men to Serve, Honor and Lead.  We enshrine that vision in the Xavier Randolph Outstanding Leadership Award, which we will give annually to the player the coaches most believe demonstrated a desire to grow in these virtues.  This is the highest honor we bestow upon one of our players.
