ACS honored its 12 Seniors on the Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Teams and on the Cheer Team and their parents in a special ceremony on March 1 before the start of the last regular season home games against Cumberland Christian School. We look forward to seeing our seniors play in the upcoming Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference playoff games, which were postponed to the week of March 15, with the championship final games to be played on Saturday, March 20 in the ACS gym.
The Seniors girls honored were: Olivia Chapman, Kami DeNick, Kayla DeNick, Shelby Einwechter, Bekah Kimmerley, Katherine Kong, Sydney Pearson, Chloe Vogel, and Cristen Winkel. The Senior boys honored were: Joshua Jacoby, Malachi Green, and Jacob Rosie.
Both ACS teams went on to win their games and several seniors put in an outstanding effort. In the Varsity Girls’ game, which ended 50-23, forward Olivia Chapman had 10 steals, 8 rebounds; forward Sydney Pearson had 16 points and 10 rebounds; and point guard Cristen Winkel scored a season high 24 points and had 6 assists. In the Varsity Boys’ game, which ended 67-42, point guard Malachi Green scored a career high 33 points, had 8 rebounds, and 5 steals. Forward Jacob Rosie had 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals.
