Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Teams Clinch Championship Titles

We’re #1! Congratulations to our ACS Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Teams, who are this year’s Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference Champions.  The Boys’ team beat King’s Christian School 52-46 in an exciting, fast-paced match on Saturday, March 20. The undefeated Lady Cougars also brought home the regular season and TSCAC Championship trophies, but due to COVID-19 outbreaks on several teams, the championship final game was not played.

The ACS Boys’ Team, seeded #2, took the lead in the first quarter and never gave it up. The #1-seeded King’s Christian team battled back to come within four points in the 4th quarter, but clutch free throws sunk by senior point guard Malachi Green in the final minutes held back King’s and helped bring the TSCAC Championship trophy back to ACS for the 11th time in school history.

ACS hosted the championship game and the Conference Awards Program held after the Boys’ game. Congratulations to senior Cristen Winkel, who was named the TSCAC Girls’ MVP. We’re also proud of the nine ACS players who were named TSCAC All-Stars: Olivia Chapman, Shelby Einwechter, Aaron Glancey, Malachi Green, Sydney Pearson, Jacob Rosie, Caleb Vogel, Chloe Vogel, and Cristen Winkel.

Thank you to Boys’ Head Coach Dan Carney and Assistant Coaches Ben Chapman and Drew Carney and Girls’ Head Coach Kaylee Breunig and Assistant Coach Dara Kimmerley for a great season!

Winter Basketball and Cheer Season Now Underway

The basketball and cheer teams are looking forward to an exciting season with games getting underway the week of January 25. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, no spectators will be allowed in the stands, but fans will be able to watch the action remotely online.

Athletic Director Pam Hitchner said that home games of both the middle and high school basketball games will be live-streamed on the ACS YouTube channel and away games will also be available to watch online using links provided by other schools.

All links will be posted on the ACS website on the “High School Athletics” page and the ACS link is available below. Anyone who would like to get email notifications of live-streamed ACS home games when they are about to air on YouTube can do so by subscribing to the ACS YouTube channel.

The game schedules for middle school and high school are also posted on the ACS website under the “Athletics” tab and will be updated regularly as needed.

Hitchner said she was very pleased that over 70 middle school and high school students are participating on the various athletic teams, and even more came out for tryouts. “There is a lot of enthusiasm for our winter sports and we are taking every precaution to keep everyone safe and healthy throughout the season,” Hitchner said. “We will really miss hearing the cheers of our fans in the stands at the games, but we know they will be rooting for us from home.”
