Our Middle School Girls’ Basketball team is off to a great start — winning the championship trophy at the ACIT Middle School Tournament held from December 4-10. Congratulations to 8th grade point guard Paige Noble, at right in photo, for being named the tournament MVP, and to 7th grade guard Kendall Murphy, at left, for being selected along with Noble to be a Tournament All-Star.
The 14-member ACS Girls’ team, under head coach and ACS alumnus Grant Miller (’07), beat Absecon’s Emma Attales Middle School team 32 to 22 in the championship game on December 10. The ACS and Absecon teams gathered in a huddle and prayed together at the conclusion of the game. ACS advanced to the championship game after beating Brigantine North Middle School and Assumption Regional Catholic School.
We’re proud of our Middle School Girls’ team and are looking forward to a great season. The ACS Girls will play their first regular season game in the Atlantic Cape Junior High League on January 9, an away game at St. Joseph’s Regional School in Somers Point. Go Cougars!
