ACS recognized and honored senior guard Ben Noble, a member of the Varsity Boys’ Basketball team, for achieving the significant milestone of scoring 1,000 points during his high school career with a special presentation during a home game on Friday, January 31 in the ACS gym. Noble scored his 1,000th point before a record-breaking crowd by sinking a foul shot in the 4th quarter of the conference game against King’s Christian School.
After Ben sank his foul shot, the enthusiastic crowd, which had been informed that he was close to reaching the record, threw streamers and rushed the court to congratulate him. Ben is now just the 8th ACS Varsity Boys’ basketball player in school history to reach this significant milestone.
Athletic Director Pam Hitchner presented Ben with a special commemorative game ball. Ben’s parents, 9th grade sister, Paige, and other family members were invited to join Ben court-side to be recognized for their contributions to Ben’s success.
ACS went on to win that game 72-44, with Ben scoring 16 points in the game. This year, Ben has averaged 16 points a game, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Led by head coach Dan Carney, the ACS Boys’ Basketball team, who is undefeated in the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference, will play again at home on Monday, Feb. 10 against Open Door. Ben and other senior players and their parents will be recognized and honored on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at our home games against Gloucester County Christian School. Go Cougars!
