Over 100 ACS parents, students, alumni, staff, and friends turned out on Saturday, October 13 for Homecoming 2018. Our loyal fans enthusiastically cheered as our Varsity Girls’ and Boys’ soccer teams won both their games against King’s Christian School. The senior boys and girls selected for the Homecoming Court were presented between the two games. It was a cool, clear fall day that brought everyone to the concession stand to grab a hot chocolate or a blended coffee drink. In the afternoon, there were grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch, with all proceeds going to benefit ACS athletics.
The Varsity Girls’ soccer team showed its strength and depth on the field, defeating King’s Christian 5-0. Sophomore Hannah Urbaczewski led the team with three goals and an assist and senior Lola Oguntuase and sophomore Chloe Vogel each scored one goal. Sophomore goalie Shelby Einwechter made 10 saves for the shutout. The Varsity Boys’ team won a hard fought game 1-0 over King’s Christian, with junior Ben Noble scoring the only goal early in the game. The defense held strong and senior goalie Mark Rosie made five saves for the shutout.
The Homecoming King and Queen were seniors Rebekah Darragh and Elijah Chapman, joined by their court — Solomon Griffith, Joshua Mizrahi, Lola Oguntuase, and Caraline Winkel. Later that evening, our students enjoyed a fun night out at the Homecoming Dance.
Thank you to Athletic Director Pam Hitchner for putting together a family friendly event, to PE teacher Ray Picking and parent volunteers who helped with concessions, and to the girls’ high school PE classes that decorated pumpkins with various graduation years and made bows and braids for spirit wear. Thanks for the memories! For more Homecoming photos, CLICK HERE for the photo gallery on the ACS website.
