Our winter sports season is just around the corner and we are excited to see nearly 120 students signed up for tryouts for basketball and cheer. Tryouts for our High School Basketball Teams will be held next week and Middle School Basketball tryouts will be held after Thanksgiving. Pre-tryout practices for our combined Middle School/High School Cheer Team will also be held next week, prior to tryouts on November 16.
The Varsity Boys Basketball tryouts will be held on November 8 and 9 and the Varsity Girls Basketball tryouts will be held on November 11 and 12. Tryouts will run from 3:15 to 5:00 p.m.
The Varsity Basketball coaches for this season, who will oversee the tryouts, will be: Drew Carney, Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach; Dan Carney, Varsity Boys Basketball Assistant Coach; Ben Chapman, JV Boys Basketball Head Coach; Kaylee Breunig, Varsity Girls Basketball Head Coach; and Dara Kimmerley, JV Girls Basketball Head Coach. The Middle School Basketball coaches will be Joshua Clark, MS Boys Basketball Head Coach; and Grant Miller, MS Girls Basketball Coach.
Students interested in trying out for the cheer team should attend the practices on November 9 and 10 from 3:15-4:15 p.m. to learn the routines that they will be asked to perform at the tryouts on November 16, which will be held from 3:30-5:00 p.m. The Cheer Team will once again be co-coached by staff members Kelly Flynn and Morgan Gibson. Not only will the team cheer at middle school and high school basketball home games, but plans are underway for the team to enter one or more cheer competitions. Students in the after school intramural cheer program, led by Coach Gibson, will also have the opportunity to cheer at ACS home games.
The Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ teams are scheduled to kick off their season with non-league games at home in the ACS gym on Tuesday, December 7. Information on all upcoming games can be found on the High School and Middle School Calendars posted on the ACS website under the Athletics tab and on the ACS App under Calendars.
Let’s get ready for a busy, action-packed season!
