To add an interesting note to the competition, brothers Andy Stormant from HCHS and Jeffrey Stormant from SHE com- peted against each other. This is only the second time this has occurred in the his- tory of the contest in our county. Seventh-grader Tucker Patrick won the competi- tion when SHE contestant Tyler Allen missed the word "schedule." Patrick then spelled "shriek" to clinch the victory. Tucker will go to Jack- sonville on Feb. 25, to par- ticipate in the Regional Spelling Bee. The winner of that competition will par- ticipate in the National Spelling Bee in Washing- ton, D.C. Following the competi- tion, students and guests were invited to the media center for refreshments pre- pared by Jan Hunter and Rheba Lee.
