EBHS Speech and Drama and Academic Results from El Campo HS Invitational

The East Bernard High School Speech and Drama team took over 20 members to the El Campo High School Invitational tournament, accompanied by 5 Academic competitors.  The event was held on January 15 and 16, and it was the first time ever that EBHS won the Sweepstakes Award (1A-3A)!  This means that our school had the most competitors that either advanced to the finals or placed in the most events. 

The results of the group events are as follows: 1^st place Group Improv (S. Berrett, H. Carr, K. McDonald, F. Jenkins, and R. Zahradnik), 2^nd place Group Improv (M. Ellis, J. Hlavinka, T. Hlavinka, M. Lee), 1^st place Record Mime (M. Ellis, M. Lee), 2^nd place CX Debate (M. Ellis, A. Sellers), 3^rd place Record Mime (J. Hlavinka, T. Hlavinka, K. McDonald), 3^rd place Duet Acting (M. Ellis, R. Zahradnik), 4^th place Reader’s Theatre (M. Ellis, S. Berrett, R. Zahradnik), and 6^th place Record Mime (S. Berrett and F. Jenkins).  Because Maren Ellis placed in several of her acting events, she won “Best Actress” of the Tournament!

The individual events were solidly dominated by EB: 1^st place Poster Design (Taylor Buxkemper), 2^nd place Storytelling (Keaton McDonald), 2^nd place Novice Prose (Hadley Carr), 3^rd place Soapbox Speaking (Hadley Carr), 3^rd place Set Design (Ciara Reeves), 4^th place Senior Poetry (Faith Jenkins), 4^th place Poster Design (Lucy Talas), and 4^th place Political Cartoon (Ciara Reeves). 

The Individual Academic Awards resulted in 1^st place Accounting (Amber Adamcik), 2^nd place accounting (Jared Rejsek), 2^nd place Science (Meg Lee), 3^rd place Science (Josh Mica), and 5^th place Feature Writing (Claire Coker).  Meg Lee also won the Tops in Physics Award!

All of the hard work and accomplishments at these Invitational tournaments is helping to prepare the way to our UIL District competition on April 1st.
