Congratulations to our Middle School Soccer teams for posting a strong, winning season this fall. The Middle School Boys’ team was undefeated with an 8-0 record and the Girls’ team was 8-1.
Both teams played their final games at home on October 26. The ACS Boys, under head coach Brandon Stevens, beat King’s Christian School 3-1 and the ACS Girls, under head coach Casey Hopwood, beat Cumberland Christian School 4-3.
Since 2008, the ACS Middle School teams have competed in the Atlantic Cape Junior High League, but due to the coronavirus outbreak, the league cancelled this year’s season. “In spite of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to put together a solid season of non-league games and we’re so proud of the success of both teams,” said Athletic Director Pam Hitchner. “I have told our players many times that we have a lot to be grateful for.” (Photo credit: Katherine Kong)
