Congratulations to the Lady Cougars for beating Calvary Academy 3-2 to win the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference Championship Game on Wednesday, November 7, bringing home the championship trophy for the fourth time in the past five years. Special cudos to the three players who put the ball in the goal — senior Rebekah Darragh, who scored in the first five minutes of the game, senior Lola Oguntuase, who also had two assists, and sophomore Chloe Vogel. Sophomore Shelby Einwechter played strong in goal with 8 saves. The Lady Cougars had finished the regular season 11-1 and were tied for first with Calvary Academy. Lola, who led the team in goals all season, was named conference MVP, and four other Lady Cougars were named to the TSCAC All-Star Team — senior Lindsey Ash (2nd team), Darragh (1st team), Einwechter (1st team ), and Vogel (2nd team).
An enthusiastic group of some 60 fans made the trip to Lakewood to cheer ACS on to victory. Thank you to head coach Carly Witherow, an ACS alumnus (’08) in her fifth year as head coach, and her Lady Cougars for an exciting and memorable season!

The Boys’ Varsity Team, under head coach Ricardo Leon, finished 4th in the regular season and advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 2013. The Boys’ Team was scheduled to play in the tournament consolation game, but the game was cancelled due to wet weather conditions. Congratulations to the five ACS players who were named to the TSCAC All-Star Team — senior Elijah Chapman (honorable mention), senior Luke Johnson (senior), junior Ben Noble (2nd team), senior Jacob O’Brien (2nd team), and senior Mark Rosie (honorable mention).
