The ACS High School Basketball teams are off to a great start, playing three different teams this week and posting wins in all but two games played during the first week of competition. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, spectators are not allowed to attend the games in person, but all home games are being live streamed on the ACS YouTube Channel.
The Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ teams won their January 25 scrimmage games against Buena High School and then played the following day at home against Calvary Academy, posting their first Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference wins of the season. The Varsity Girls beat Calvary 52-9 and the Varsity Boys played strong to beat Calvary 61-53. The JV Boys tied their game 37-37.
On Wednesday, the ACS teams traveled to Sparta, NJ to play Veritas Christian Academy in a non-conference game. The ACS Varsity Girls lost a close match in overtime to Veritas 57-50, and the Varsity Boys lost their game as well, 43-56. The two schools will face off again this weekend at ACS on Saturday, January 30. Four games will be played on Saturday — JV Girls at 2 p.m.; Varsity Girls at 3:30 p.m.; JV Boys at 5 p.m.; and Varsity Boys at 6:30 p.m.
