Athletics and Activities:
🏆 SAISA Football Champions!
Our ACS Scorpions Boys Football team are SAISA Champions! The boys defeated the four-time defending champions TAISM in a thrilling semifinal (3–2) before claiming the title against ASB, home school, in the final (3–1). Leading scorer Dajani netted four goals across both matches, with captain Yaghnam adding two crucial finishes- including the championship-clinching corner from Hashem. The team also earned 6 S-pins for outstanding sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
A special moment was shared for senior Tareq Anabtawi, who received a ceremonial start in the Championship game in recognition of his contributions to the program.
We are so proud of our Scorpions! 🦂🥇
