“We had great intensity for three quarters of the game,” ACCS head coach Jim Allgood said. “It was an all-out battle, and this gives us back-to-back tough games against (a past state champion).”

Thursday night, ACCS led Laurel Christian 4-1 before surrendering five-consecutive tallies to fall 6-4.

Dylan Galbreath scored in the first half of the game, and the two teams went into the break tied at a goal each.

Austin Walker and Lester Wells then netted goals to give ACCS a 3-1 lead before Laurel Christian came back to tie and eventually win.

The loss dropped ACCS to 12-3-3 overall on the season and 3-3 in district play. The Rebels will face Columbia Academy on the road Wednesday.
