Seventeen
area school districts participated in the winter tournament in November.
Adviser
James White put his team through a rapid-fire final round of practice after
school on Wednesday.
“Academic Challenge involves a wide range of subject areas, including math, science, history, geography and the arts,” White said. “It requires not only knowledge but quick reaction time.”
White said his 10-member team will be divided into varsity and junior varsity squads for today’s tournament.
Team members
include captain Aubreion Chatman, Ford Amsbaugh, Breanne Blevins, Khyra
Johnson, Blair McClenathan, Tony Oliveri, Zander Perrigan, Olivia Snyder, Megan
Supron and Reese Vaught.
Participation
requires a commitment from team members. Although they are excused from school
today, they are responsible for making up any missed class assignments.
