ACCS held off a late BA run and hit key free throws down the stretch to close out the win. The Lady Cougars tied the score at 37-37 after trailing the Lady Rebels by 8 points in the fourth quarter but could not pull ahead.

ACCS is 2-2 in District 5-AA and holds the tiebreaker lead over BA because of the margin of victory in their head to head matchups.
