Varsity Basketball Player Ben Noble Honored for Scoring 1,000th Career Point

ACS recognized and honored senior guard Ben Noble, a member of the Varsity Boys’ Basketball team, for achieving the significant milestone of scoring 1,000 points during his high school career with a special presentation during a home game on Friday, January 31 in the ACS gym. Noble scored his 1,000th point before a record-breaking crowd by sinking a foul shot in the 4th quarter of the conference game against King’s Christian School.

After Ben sank his foul shot, the enthusiastic crowd, which had been informed that he was close to reaching the record, threw streamers and rushed the court to congratulate him. Ben is now just the 8th ACS Varsity Boys’ basketball player in school history to reach this significant milestone.

Athletic Director Pam Hitchner presented Ben with a special commemorative game ball. Ben’s parents, 9th grade sister, Paige, and other family members were invited to join Ben court-side to be recognized for their contributions to Ben’s success.

ACS went on to win that game 72-44, with Ben scoring 16 points in the game. This year, Ben has averaged 16 points a game, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Led by head coach Dan Carney, the ACS Boys’ Basketball team, who is undefeated in the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference, will play again at home on Monday, Feb. 10 against Open Door. Ben and other senior players and their parents will be recognized and honored on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at our home games against Gloucester County Christian School. Go Cougars!

Varsity Cheer Squad Fires Up ACS Basketball Fans

A talented, high-energy 15-member cheerleading squad has been getting ACS fans fired up at home basketball games since early January. The squad will be cheering at three more games before the basketball season concludes — at this Friday’s JV and Varsity Girls’ games against Winslow; at the senior game on February 11; and at the semi-final playoff game on February 20. Come on out and cheer our Cougars on to victory!

The middle school and high school students on the squad, co-coached by staff members Kelly Flynn and Morgan Gibson, started practicing in November to learn nearly 50 chants, cheers, and half-time routines and to develop their tumbling, stunts, and pyramids.

“I love the way this squad really works together,” said Mrs. Flynn. “They help and support each other and not just when they’re cheering, but they’re building great relationships for life.” In addition to practicing or cheering at a game three to four days a week, the squad has also enjoyed their time together at team dinners and Bible studies.

The squad is led by two captains — 9th grader Lauren Kent and 8th grader Haven Sanchez. The other members of the squad are: Angelina Alexis, Isabell Alford, Ava Barberio, Leah Boyer, Victoria Dade, Rebecca DiMaio, Adrienna Foo, Grace Johnson, Paityn Kates, Autumn Loo, Savannah Schwenker, Makayla Tomlinson, and Stephanie Valdes.

Intramural Cheer Squad Makes Its Debut

Our largest-ever intramural cheerleading squad made its debut at our “White Out” home basketball game on January 31 before a capacity crowd in the ACS gym in Egg Harbor Township. The squad will lead cheers and do a half-time routine at two more upcoming home games — the senior game on Tuesday, Feb. 11 and the semi-final playoff game on Thursday, Feb. 20.

The 26-member squad of elementary girls from kindergarten to 5th grade, led for the fifth year by Coach Morgan Gibson, has been practicing weekly since late November, learning the chants and practicing tumbling and stunting.

“We’re so excited to see the growth in this intramural program since it began five years ago,” said coach Gibson. “This is the largest and most experienced squad we’ve ever had. Our 5th graders are the leaders and they have learned so much. We know they’re ready to move on next year to the Varsity squad.”

4th Graders Move Up to High School for Geometry Lesson with Chromebooks

Our 4th grade students, with Google Chromebooks in hand, moved up into Mr. Carney’s high school math classroom on Wednesday, January 29 to get a special lesson on coordinate pairs and graphing as part of their unit on geometry.

“We thought it would be a unique and exciting experience for our students to learn about the fundamentals of geometry from our high school math teacher, especially using the technology resources that he uses with his own students,” said 4th grade teacher Mrs. Hoover. “The students had so much fun!” She and 4th grade teacher Mr. Tardif were on hand to advise and assist the students as they used their Chromebooks during the lesson. Mr. Carney’s son, Colton, is also in Mr. Tardif’s class.

Mr. Carney began by having the students use graph paper to draw the x-axis and y-axis lines and then divide the paper into four quadrants.  He gave described how to find the coordinate pairs of a given point placed on the graph and then had the students log into the Chromebooks and begin typing the coordinate pair for the given point. 

Mrs. Hoover said the students soon learned how to arrive at the correct answer.  Mr. Carney ended the lesson with having the students write their own coordinate pairs to form two eyes on a graph that already had a smile mouth showing.
