Union County High School students Cade Ailor, Caden Walker, Lakin Brock, and Kayla Faulkner competed in the Tennessee FFA Quiz Bowl Contest. All students are members of the Horace Maynard FFA Chapter.

This event tests students on their knowledge of FFA using one hundred questions pulled from the current FFA manual.

This year, students participated virtually rather than in person, taking the test online. The team placed 24th in the state with Kayla Faulkner having the high score of the team and ranking 48th out of 138.

“On a side note, we normally place higher,” said UCHS Agriculture teacher Peyton Scharrett. “Our original team fell apart the night before due to kids being quarantined the day before. Two of these students had less than a day’s notice. It was a little crazy!”

Scharrett says that future events will be more exciting and have better results.
