ACCS finished 3-7 this year.

&uot;We didn’t get the wins we deserved, but this year had to really get focused to play us whereas we were just an easy win in the past,&uot; said ACCS head coach Bo Swilley. &uot;There wasn’t a game where we didn’t feel we didn’t have a chance to be in the ballgame.&uot;

We had a new offense and defense and I thought the kids really handled it well. We had some inconsistencies. We moved the ball, we just didn’t put it in the end zone. We moved the ball better on Jackson Prep than anybody but Pillow, we just didn’t take advantage of our opportunities.&uot;

Swilley is having to replace 11 seniors.

&uot;They probably had as good of a work ethic as I’ve had here,&uot; Swilley said. &uot;We have another good group coming up. We’ve finally gotten to the point where we have good athletes in each class. Right now through the seventh grade, there are kids who are fairly athletic. We have a good group of juniors and we’re looking forward to getting back on the field.&uot;
