Fox Academic Team

By Anissa McConnell and Desmond James

What was Oklahoma's original state capital? What is the square root of 2,428? What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis? Do you know the answers to these questions? I bet the Fox Academic Team knows!

The students on this years team are Dillon and Dalton Langley, Ethan Ruth, Samantha Wright, Sean Newell, Conner Jack, William Lovely, Serj Agopian, Joa Plant, and Kaylee Schier. The academic team competes in academic meets. An academic meet is a competition between different schools where they are asked questions from different areas, like math, history, science, etc. It's set up in a Jeopardy! type forum where one team is asked a question and if they do not get the right answer, the other team gets a chance to answer it correctly.

They have had two meets already this year. They won against Thackerville 90-40 and lost to Madill. They will be having meets every Monday for the next three weeks. This coming week on October 11th, they play at Tishomingo against Turner and Tishomingo. Then they will play on October 18th against Wilson and Marietta. They have a district meet on November 13th.

Good Luck to the Academic Team this year!
