The team won the Florida state Class 2A championship in 2005. ACDS repeated the championship in 2006, with a convincing 73-37 win over North Palm Beach Benjamin in a game played at the Lakeland Center. Again in 2007, the team defeated Port St. Lucie, 72-43, to three-peat. In March, 2008, a four-peat was accomplished with ACDS again winning the state Class 2A title, beating Weston Sagemont, 54-53. The next season they again won the Class 2A state championship. They are only 1 of 2 teams to every win 5 consecutive titles.
