From Staff Reports
Count them – one, two, three, four. That’s how many representatives Corsicana High School is sending to the Region II UIL meet in Accounting. It is one of two teams to advance to regionals, with Literary Criticism also moving on.
In addition, two other individuals advanced in Journalism events.
The Accounting team easily captured the team district title, sweeping the first four places as Rebekah Oberdick earned gold. Lit Crit took the district title, and Ellysa Crouch also advanced individually after a second-place finish.
Elexander Crouch in Copy Editing and Shahrukh Ahmed in Headline Writing also advanced.
The UIL event was held recently in Joshua.
