There was lots of bumping, setting, and spiking in the ACS gym on March 8 as over 90 ACS students, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends faced off for a night of friendly competition at our annual Intramural Volleyball Tournament. Fourteen teams competed, the most ever since the tournament was launched in 2005 by Athletic Director Pam Hitchner.
After five hours of double-elimination games, the high school team named “Blue Steel” took first place. The six members of the medal-winning team, all 11th graders, were: Noah Gibbs, John Hannum, Manny Johnson, Becca Kelley, Evangelina Kim, and Alicia O’Donnell.
Hitchner and PE teacher Joshua Clark served as referees during the tournament, assisted by a number of ACS students serving as scorekeepers. Students from the 8th-12 grades were could form teams and each team had at least three girls and three boys. Several teams included parents, faculty, alumni, and former students.
Thank you to the tournament volunteers and to everyone who bought food at the Cougar Den, which helped raise funds for the ACS Cheer Team as they prepare for their trip to Nationals in Virginia in early April. Photo credit: PJ Santos.
