ACS honored six seniors on the Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer teams and their family members in a special ceremony on Thursday, October 21. The seniors honored were: Destiny Brewer, Angela Eggie, Aaron Glancey, Danny Kim, Cole Lewis, and Devin Tridente.
Athletic Director Pam Hitchner introduced the team members and read notes of special thanks to each written by Varsity Boys’ Coach Andres Tortola and Varsity Girls’ Coach Carly Witherow. Each player escorted their parents, host parents, or other family members across the Varsity Boys’ Soccer field, with their fellow players lined up on either side of their pathway, cheering and applauding as they walked by.
The ceremony was held prior to the start of the home games against Calvary Academy. Both teams went on to win their games. The Varsity Girls won 8-1, with Paige Noble (11th) and Alicia O’Donnell (10th) each scoring twice, and Maddie DeNick (11th), Sophia Johnson (9th), Becca Kelley (10th), and Eden Wilson (11th) each scoring once. Goalie Taylor Sutton made eight saves. The Varsity Boys won 7-3. Senior Aaron Glancey had 3 goals, senior Devin Tridente had two goals, and Manny Johnson (10th) and Chase Leach (9th) each scored 1 goal.
We’re so proud of the commitment and leadership that our seniors have given during their high school careers and the important contributions they have made to the success of both teams this season. Both the Varsity Girls’ and Boys’ teams are currently in second place with one more week of games before playoffs during the week of November 1. The Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference quarter-final games are scheduled for Tuesday, November 2 and the semi-final playoff games are scheduled for Thursday, November 4, with locations and teams to be determined. The TSCAC Championship Games will be played on Saturday, November 6 and the location is yet to be determined. More details will be provided soon.
