The Varsity Boys’ Basketball Head Coach Dan Carney, in his 3rd year leading the Boys’ team, has been named the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference “Coach of the Year.” Coach Carney was recognized for the award at the conclusion of the TSCAC championship games on Saturday, February 23. “I’m really grateful for receiving this honor, but it truly is an award for both me and my assistant coach, Paul Jones,” said Coach Carney. “No one can do this job alone, and without Paul’s commitment and the energy he poured into our guys, we would not have seen the success that we did this year.”

Seven ACS Varsity basketball players have also been recognized and honored as TSCAC All-Stars. The ACS Boys’ team players named TSCAC All-Stars were: senior Cole Johnson (1st team), junior Ben Noble (2nd team), junior Dan Roland (honorable mention), and sophomore Landon Shivers (honorable mention). The ACS Girls’ team players named TSCAC All-Stars were: sophomore Sydney Pearson (1st team), senior Caraline Winkel (2nd team), and sophomore Cristen Winkel.

Intramural Cheer Squad Makes Debut at January 4 Home Game

The Intramural Cheerleading Squad made its debut on Friday, January 4, leading an enthusiastic crowd in cheers and performing a half-time routine at the home game of the Varsity Girls’ Basketball team against King’s Christian School. The squad plans to perform at several upcoming home games, with the next appearance on Friday, January 18 at the home game against Calvary Academy starting at 4 p.m. in the ACS gym. In addition to performing at a number of home basketball games through February 15, the squad will be participating in Spirit Week and will do a half-time routine at the February 1 school pep rally.

The 18-member squad of girls from K to 5th grade, led for the 4th year by Coach Morgan Gibson, has been practicing weekly since early December, learning the chants, and practicing tumbling and stunting. “I was so excited to see so many girls returning to be part of the squad this year,” Gibson said. “This is the largest and most experienced squad we’ve ever had and the crowd loved seeing them perform the more advanced tumbling and stunting routines. This is going to be a great season for them.”  ACS parent PJ Santos, owner of the personalized gift company Lovingly Ours, once again has designed and supplied the squad’s green T-shirts.
