ACS family members, alumni, faculty, and friends cheered from the stands as alumni and former students faced off on the basketball court on December 21 for the annual Alumni Basketball Games. Unfortunately, the Alumni Girls’ Basketball Game was not held due to the illness of several players, leaving the Alumni Boys’ Game as the main attraction.  Twelve alumni and former players from 2013-2022 faced off in a game that ended with the white team winning by five — 72-67.

The alumni and former students who played for the Cougars and participated in the alumni game included: Yamier Cooper (2015), Mikai Browne, Elijah Chapman (2019), Asher Dawkins, Malachi Green (2021), Jon Hevalow (2016), Ben Noble (2020), Dan Roland (2020), Jacob Rosie (2021), Mark Rosie (2020), Landon Shivers, and Devin Tridente (2022). Also adding their talents to the teams were Josh Clark, ACS PE teacher and MS Boys’ Basketball coach, Lucky Johnson, and Jared Shivers.

Two other alumni contributed their talents to the evening — Ashleigh Martin (2020) sang the National Anthem before the start of the game and ACS PE teacher and Varsity Girls’ Basketball head coach Kaylee Breunig (2012) kept the clock and stats alongside Ashleigh at the score table.

Thank you to Athletic Director Pam Hitchner for organizing another enjoyable evening of great basketball and fellowship on and off the court and for gifting each alumni player with a green or white alumni basketball event T-shirt.
