Waccamaw On Its Way To Raleigh
For State History Bowl ? Again
BY SUSAN US1IKR
A team from Waccamaw Elemen
tary School will head to Raleigh in
May to compete in the state History
Bowl for the third consecutive year.
Waccamaw's eighth graders best
ed South Brunswick Middle School,
Lcland Middle School and Burgaw
Middle School to emerge as win
ners of a three-county Fort Fisher/
Brunswick Town State Historic Site
History Bowl.
The competition was held Mon
day at Fort Fisher State Historic
Site in New Hanover County.
The winning team of Sidney
Long, Rebecca Hughes, Mclanic
Phillips, Blair Milligan and Adam
Babson won $100 to spend as they
like, a trophy, p'aque and certifi
cates from both the Department of
Cultural Resources and the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. They
will also get a pizza party, said their
coach, social studies teacher Mary
Katherine Griffith.
"They're a very good team," she
said. "ITiey are well balanced."
The annual competition, sponsor
ed by the Division of Archives and
History, N.C. Department of Cultur
al Resources, promotes interest in
North Carolina history. Local con
tests are held by the state's historic
sites, with Brunswick Town and
Fort Fisher co-sponsoring the Cape
Fear area bowl.
This year's contest featured four
schools from Brunswick County
and two each from New Hanover
and Pender counties.
Waccamaw team members will
spend the next six weeks preparing
for state competition, where ques
tions will span the state's 200-year
history, with special emphasis on
the state's historic sites.
For the past two years Wacca
maw's team has placed second in
South Brunswic
Brunswick County schools con
tinue to announce honor rolls for
the fourth six-weeks grading period.
Those earning all A's are listed on
the A Honor Roll while students

the state bowl, losing to teams from
mucli larger schools. Last year, said
Ms. Griffith, Waccamaw, with few
er than 500 students in grades kin
dergarten through eight, was the
smallest school entered in the event.
In claiming Waccamaw's latest
county/regional victory, the team
posted its highest scores ever, Ms.
Griffith said.
Waccamaw scored 1,140 points
to South Brunswick's 210; 1,170 to
Leland's 285; and in the finals, 905
to Burgaw's 320.
Asked the hardest question posed,
Ms. Griffith replied, "They couldn't
come up with one."
However, students said they did
notice a larger number of "open
ended questions" than in the past.
One, for example, asked students
where Vcrrazano explored. The cor
rect answer: Not just the Cape Fear
River or Cape Fear coast, but the
Carolina coast from the Cape Fear
River to what is now Swansboro.
Shallottc Middle, which lost in
the first round to Lcland Middle,
was represented by Aaron Hankins,
Jamie Dennis, Elizabeth Dctrie,
Cicely Williams and Erin Redwinc.
Next year, said first-time bowl
coach Barbara Holcombc, Shallot
te's team will be ready. "We were
weak on the state historic site infor
mation," she said. "We're going to
work on it for next year."
Other teams competing included
Trask and Williston schools in New
Hanover County and Atkinson in
Pender County.
