On April 11, 4th and 5th graders from Maynardville, Paulette, Big Ridge, Sharps Chapel and Luttrell elementary schools gathered at Horace Maynard Middle School to compete in the Union County 4-H Clover Bowl. Each team previously won their in-school contest to qualify to represent their school in the county contest.
Clover Bowl is an all-encompassing educational contest that quizzes 4-H members on areas of 4-H, Agriculture, Life Skills, Government and Science, and Tennessee’s history, geography and government. Participating in this contest makes 4-H members well-rounded in a variety of topics while also developing their teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
Sharps Chapel Elementary became our 4th Grade Clover Bowl Champions. Competing on the team was Jaydon Battles, Trey Miller, Tucker Jones and Kallie Pilkerton. Second place was Big Ridge Elementary’s team of Luke Goforth, Zyon Copeland, Jace Dyer, Juddson Jones and Reed Reno. Third place was Paulette Elementary’s team of Willow Cooley, Caroline Carr, Savannah Lee, Mary Anne and Ariana Relford. Fourth place was Maynardville Elementary’s team of Easton Muncey, Lylah Winstead, Cam Johnson, Chloe Gillam and Jose Sombra. Fifth place was Luttrell Elementary’s team of Malaysia Thomas, Blake Hall and Reed Reno.
