CHAMPIONS...Congratulations to
our Varsity Boys Basketball Team,
who went undefeated in Region 8-
A play this year, and won the
Region Tournament this past
weekend. These young men have
worked hard this season, and they
have striven to be good
representatives of their families,
their School, and their Savior.
A Region championship is
great, but the greatest victory
occurred when Jesus Christ
conquered the grave. His death
and resurrection paved the way for
a new life to those who believe.
Our championship is temporary.
Christ’s victory is eternal. We are
happy to celebrate both at ACS.
For more information, call the
School or visit us online at
