ACHS Academic Team wins Fall League once again "A" in ACHS also stands for "Academic." Future is bright for team: For the second year in a row, the team also featured the youngest roster of any in the league Click on headline for full list of the brainy heroes By Shamarie Claiborne, Media Coordinator News from the Adair County Public Schools The ACHS Academic Team won yet another Fall championship in the Green River Regional Academic League Monday, November 25, 2013, as they hosted the final night of the nearly three-month-long competition. Adair entered the evening as the number one seed and swept through the final night's tournament to be crowned champions once again. Since 2007, Adair County has claimed the title each year of the league, which has featured teams from Taylor, Russell, Larue, Campbellsville, and Green in that span. For the second year in a row, the team also featured the youngest roster of any team in the league. This year's Quick Recall team includes all underclassmen while the Future Problem Solving team competing later in the year will feature only one Senior. Quick Recall members include 11th graders Timothy Watson, Brittany Curry, Jessi Taylor, and Alan Godsey and 10th graders Rebecca Montgomery, Courtney Green, Zane Sanders, Austin Bradshaw, Treyton Grant, and Tyler Moore. The team also shined in the individual Written Assessment categories: Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Arts and Humanities, and English Composition. The team swept 1st Place in each area of competition. The medal tally was led by Timothy Watson, Brittany Curry, and Rebecca Montgomery. Each earned two medals in their competitive assessments. Watson took 1st Place in both Science and Social Studies, Curry earned 1st Place in Math and 3rd in Social Studies, and Montgomery won both Language Arts and Arts and Humanities in just her second year of competition. Rebekah York (grade 11) and Jessi Taylor also took medals in English Composition. York finished 1st in her first year as a competitor while Taylor, a State Finalist last year in the same event, won 3rd Place in the event. First year competitor Courtney Green made an impressive showing by earning 4th Place in Language Arts in her debut. Future Problem Solving member Kyle Castaneda (Grade 12) competed for the first time in the Science Written Assessment and took home 3rd place honors. Leane Blackwelder (Grade 12) contributed to the award tally with a 5th Place finish in Math while 11th graders Alan Godsey and Laura Akin made it to the medal stand with a tie for 5th in Arts and Humanities. Coach Brett Reliford remarked about yet another successful Fall finish: "Throughout the years, we've had some really impressive teams. One of the things that stands out with this year's accomplishment in league is that we swept 1st in every category. While we've frequently fared very well and led the medal count, we haven't won 1st in every single category in a while during the Fall season. The thing to remember is how inexperienced our young team is. I'm super proud of what we achieved with primarily all underclassmen, especially in accomplishing a clean sweep that is rare at any phase of competition throughout the state." The team now begins its post-season Governor's Cup preparation for January as they target the District Championships in the first leg of the Governor's Cup event, which will be held at Russell County High School. Adair County heads into the competition as defending Champions for the past 8 consecutive years. This story was posted on 2013-12-02 08:11:46
