Weekly Update Feb. 17th

Good Sunday afternoon to all! I hope everyone is able to enjoy the warmer temps and sunshine!

FCCLA News:

On Friday, January 31, nine students competed at the Regional
FCCLA Star Events competition at Hillview Heights in Bowling Green. Each group
worked very hard and represented both our school and FCCLA chapter very, very well.
The following students placed 1st at Region and will advanced to the State
FCCLA Leadership Conference to compete on March 19-21:

Addie Hendley, Mateah Black and Jalonda Wells-Illustrated Talk (1st Place)

Dilishia Thomas, Chelsea Clinard and Denise Stovall-Life Event Planning (1st Place)

Also competing at Regionals were Kallie White, Montana Armstrong and Olivia Cudd who placed 4th overall in Focus on Children.

I'm very proud of all of these students for their hard work and commitment,
especially considering this is a first competitive year for our FCCLA
Chapter. Having two sets of students advance to State our first year
is a wonderful accomplishment and has really opened the gates up for us for
next year. They are all great students and I'm very proud to be their
adviser!

Thanks,

Ashley McGinnis

RHS Academic Team:
--The RHS Academic Team competed this past Saturday at the regional Governor’s Cup
competition in Madisonville. The quick
recall and future problem solving teams came in 3rd. Individual results are as follows:

Emilie Gill---1st place Art and Humanities

Jason Fox—2nd place Art and Humanities

Jeffrey Fox –4th place Language Arts

Ethan Mullen—2nd place Science and 4th place Social Studies

All of the above students qualified to participate at the state level. This is a record number of qualifiers for RHS to send to the state competition! A huge thanks to coaches Nick Skaggs, Lauren Fynboe and Erica Cassaday as well as these students for their hard work and
dedication!!

RHS Archery:

--The RHS team competed this past Saturday at the regional shoot at Logan Co. High School. The results are:

Brian Clinard
placed 1st in the high school male division and also received top
male shooter! He had an overall score of 286.

Chelsea Clinard
placed 5th in the high school female division. Her overall
score was 273.

Both of these will be advancing to the state archery
tournament in March. The overall team placed 5th in the region (only
missing 3rd place by 16 points and 4th place by 7 points).

I will know if the rest of the team will also be shooting at
the state archery tournament on February 28th because of the system
the state is using to register teams.

Top RHS shooters:

Brian Clinard – 286

Chelsea Clinard – 273

David Barber – 266

Dalton Clark – 265

Monsera Morales – 254

Blake Clark – 254

Alex Cain – 254

Congratulations to Coach Jennifer Clark and these students for representing the school so well during this regional event. We look forward to the state competition!

--The RHS Swim team competed Friday in Owensboro at the
regional swim meet. The boys 200m relay team qualified in the top 16 to advance on to competition on Saturday. Team members include Eduardo Rodriguez, Cole
Celsor, Dillon Porter and Benjamin Slack
. Sophomore Kate Bouldin also
qualified in the top 16 of Friday to advance to Saturday’s events. Kate represented our school in the 100 Fly on Saturday.
