ACS recognized and honored senior forward Sydney Pearson, a member of the Varsity Girls’ Basketball team, for scoring 1,000 points during her high school career with a special presentation during the January 26 home game in the ACS gym. Pearson scored her 1,000th point with a layup in the first quarter of the first conference game of the season against Calvary Academy.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, spectators were not allowed to watch the game in the gym, but after sinking her layup, game play stopped temporarily as ACS cheerleaders, Sydney’s parents, and fellow players celebrated her accomplishment. Sydney is just the 6th ACS Varsity Girls’ basketball player in school history to reach this significant milestone.
Athletic Director Pam Hitchner presented Sydney with a special commemorative game ball. Sydney’s parents, Doug and Lori Pearson, and Varsity Girls’ Basketball Coach Kaylee Breunig, posed for photos with Sydney.
ACS went on to win that game 52-9, with Sydney scoring 12 points in the game.
