Congratulations to our Varsity Soccer teams for both chalking up a win on Friday, September 10 in a non-league game at home against Veritas Christian Academy from Sparta, NJ. The Varsity Boys won 5-1 and the Varsity Girls won 5-3. We’re excited to see these teams continue to grow and get stronger as they begin conference play next week against Pilgrim Academy and Gloucester County Christian School. Tryouts for our Middle School Soccer Teams will be on Monday, September 13. The tryouts were rescheduled from September 9 due to rain. Come out, bring your cleats and a water bottle, and be part of a great program that focuses on building skills, confidence, and good sportsmanship.
In the Varsity Boys’ game on Friday, three players led the team on offense — 12th grader Aaron Glancey, who scored two goals, 10th grader Manny Johnson, who also scored two goals, and 9th grader Chase Leach, who scored one. Working on defense in the goal were 11th grader Jacob DeNick and 10th grader Nathan Mills. The 24-member Boys’ team is under head coach Andres Tortola, joined by assistant coach and ACS alumnus, Tommy Tillis (’10).
In the Varsity Girls’ game, five players shared the stage on offense, each scoring one goal — Sophia Johnson (9th), Rebecca Kelley (10th), Reyna Lewis (11th), and sisters Eden and Eve Wilson (11th). 9th grader Taylor Sutton had five saves in goal. The 14-member Varsity Girls’ team is coached by ACS alumnus Carly Witherow (’08). Since 2015, Coach Carly has led the Lady Cougars to six consecutive appearances in the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference (TSCAC) Tournament finals and five consecutive TSCAC Championships.
Both Varsity teams will face off next week in their first TSCAC conference games of the season — on Thursday, September 16 away at Pilgrim Academy and on Friday, September 17 at home against Gloucester County Christian School. Come on out and cheer for our teams. Go Cougars!
