ACHS Academic Team advances to State Championships Tradition of Excellence continues to Grow. ACHS A-Team Going to State, Again! Members of the Quick Recall and Written Assessment team include Rebecca Montgomery, Zane Sanders, Courtney Green, Eli Jackson, Austin Bradshaw, Treyton Grant, Benjamin Hancock, Dylan Pendleton, Erwin Ruczienski, Trevor Smith, Jaiden Taylor, Samuel Willis, Arabella Caldwell, and Christina Kessinger. Their coach is Brett Reliford. Click on headline for complete story By Shamarie Harper In what is widely regarded as one of the most competitive Governor's Cup Regions in the state, the Adair County High School Academic Team rose to the occasion, reaching school records in the number of individual qualifiers advancing to the State Championships. The team continued its winning tradition on February 20 at South Warren High School in Bowling Green during the 4th Region Championships, finishing 2nd in the overall standings only slightly behind the defending State Champions. The Future Problem Solving team earned runner-up honors and advanced to State Finals for the 11th time as well. Science standouts: Benjamin Hancock, Eli Jackson In the Science written assessment, the team set a school record by finishing 1st and 2nd respectively in the category. Sophomore Benjamin Hancock took home the Regional Championship trophy in the event, and teammate Eli Jackson finished in 2nd Place. Hancock's 1st Place score was just one question shy in the statewide results of being among the Top 10 individuals in Science. Language arts stars: Rebecca Montgomery, Treyton Grant The team's legacy of strong Language Arts finishes was once again on display as Adair took 1st and 2nd place in the event. Rebecca Montgomery capture the Regional Championship in the competition while teammate Treyton Grant finished as runner-up. Montgomery, now a Senior, has finished in the top 5 in Region since her Sophomore year. Grant finished as Regional runner-up last year, making this his second time qualifying for the State Championships. Like Hancock in Science, Montgomery is among the running for Top 10 students across the state in her respective area of competition. Since 2010, the team has finished 1st or 2nd in Language Arts at Region and has only once finished outside of the top 2 since 2007. English Composition Awards go to Montgomery, Zane Sanders Montgomery also competed in English Composition for the first time. She has been a State Finalist in Arts and Humanities in the past, but this year, Montgomery showed her versatility by finishing in 2nd Place in Region as a first year competitor in the event. Teammate Zane Sanders was switched into competing in Arts and Humanities this year to fill Montgomery's slot, and he qualified for the State Championships by finishing in 4th Place. Sanders also advanced to State in Social Studies with a 4th Place finish in that category as well. Overall, the team had 7 individual qualifications for State. This was the best finish in written assessment events since 2009 for the team, tying what was then the school record. Coach Reliford: Competition in Region well above State Average Coach Brett Reliford commented, "The competition in our Region is well above average when compared to the 15 other Regions across the State. To pull this off once again this year is a testament to the hard work of our students and the effectiveness of the kind of program we try to run here at ACHS. I have said this in years past, but the records continue to show that no other program in the State gains as much ground on other teams as we do during a four-year graduation cycle. I am super proud of the devotion poured into this by students and the results they continue to get year in and year out." Future Problem Solvers tackle Recovery from Natural Disasters The Future Problem Solving team faced the task at Region of dealing with Recovery from Natural Disasters. After weeks of preparation for a scenario they would not encounter until the day of the competition, team members Wes Stone, Trevor Cowan, Noah Ollery, and Brandon Harp worked together on recognizing Challenges, creating Solutions, and developing a Plan of Action to impress evaluators enough to be one of only two teams that get to advance to the State Finals from the 4th Region. Governor's Cup State Finals will take place on March 19-21, 2016, at the Galt House, 140 N 4th Street, Louisville, KY. Members of the Quick Recall and Written Assessment team include Rebecca Montgomery, Zane Sanders, Courtney Green, Eli Jackson, Austin Bradshaw, Treyton Grant, Benjamin Hancock, Dylan Pendleton, Erwin Ruczienski, Trevor Smith, Jaiden Taylor, Samuel Willis, Arabella Caldwell, and Christina Kessinger.
