ABAC's team competed against Dalton State College (A and B teams), Middle Georgia College (A and B teams), and East Georgia College. The team received a trophy for winning three of the five rounds in which it participated. Gay, team captain, also won a trophy for scoring third highest among all individuals at the competition.
Dr. Erin Campbell, team coach and Instructor of English at ABAC, said she was proud to have the opportunity to coach such intellectually gifted students.
"They really jelled as a team during the state tournament," Campbell said. "We competed remarkably well, and I am thrilled with the team's efforts."
