One last award for the day for a Bearcat! Matt Stoltz of EAB presented the first EAB Golden Mic to Alex for his outstanding performance as a commentator. Alex called over 50 games without missing a single game that was planned to be aired. He did each game with the same energy while advertising the EAB spots and ads in his commentary. Before becoming a commentator, Alex learned all aspects of a live working control room. He was awarded for his professionalism with in depth research day in and day out for each game, while also creating graphics and his own original spotting charts! Such an awesome award for one of our own! Go do great things, Alex! 🐾

MATH CAN BE FUN!! Mrs. Duncan's technical math class has been learning about measurements, angles, and the law of reflection. They put their knowledge to use by creating a putt putt course and then going outside and testing out the course. Prior to playing the course, they calculated what it would take to make a hole in one on each hole, and then they got to test their calculations in real life.
