Seniors were the focus of the basketball games held in the Aucilla Christian Academy (ACA) Wilmer Bassett Gymnasium on Friday, Jan. 31.
A total of four games were played that night, with both varsity and junior varsity boys and girls teams tackling back-to-back games against the Buccaneers of Branford, Fla.
While the Warriors only won one of their two varsity games (the varsity girls winning 50-33 and the varsity boys losing 60-52), no win or loss could dim the focus of the evening.
In conjunction with the games, ACA hosted their Senior Night for the basketball athletes, and seven seniors were recognized and honored at the evening's event.
Held between the varsity girls and varsity boys games, the school took a moment to allow their athletic teams, fans and families to support the gathered seniors.
Each senior was presented with a signed basketball, which bore the names of their teammates, coaches and friends, as well as a bouquet of Warrior-yellow flowers; after which, the seniors were escorted onto the court by their family.
The recognized seniors were:
Dawson Bishop (escorted by Don and Allison Bishop), Hailey Clark (escorted by Jennifer Wheeler and Jeff Clark), Nathan Dukes (escorted by Tanja and Charlie Dukes), Nathan Green (escorted by Leon and Michelle Green), Carl Hall (escorted by Mark and Debbie Hall), Julianna Lindsey (escorted by Nate and Candie Lindsey), and Abby Reams (escorted by Kathy and Joe Reams).
“We were so proud to honor our Senior Basketball Warriors on Senior Night!” wrote ACA after the conclusion of the evening. “To our seniors: trust the Lord in all you do and know that when you put Him first, He will never lead you astray. We love you all!”
