The Varsity Baseball and Softball teams are off to a strong start this spring, with both teams winning their season opener against Pilgrim Academy on April 4, just before Easter break. Since returning from the break, the Varsity Girls Softball team has racked up three more wins — against Calvary Christian, King’s Christian School, and American Christian School — and the Varsity Boys Baseball team has won two and lost one.
Two more games will round out the schedule for April — away at King’s Christian on April 27 and at home on April 28 against Gloucester County Christian School. Come on out and cheer for our Cougars.
The Varsity Girls Softball Team won the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference (TSCAC) title last year and the Varsity Boys Baseball team finished in 2nd place last season, losing to Pilgrim Academy in the TSCAC Championship Game. Both ACS teams are looking to be conference contenders again this year.
