With a score of 349, the high school UIL Academics team won first place for 1A-4A schools at the Whitehouse UIL meet  Nov. 13. The top scoring events were the math teams with 175 points, ready writing with 41 points, journalism with 40 points, accounting with 25 points and literary criticism with 21 points.

“When Sabine goes to a meet, we walk in with a lot of confidence because we prepare all the time,” senior Carter Boone said. “People know when we walk in, and we go into a meet expecting to win. And that’s pretty much what we did.”

Although the whole accounting team couldn’t attend, leaving them with two to compete, they got 25 points with senior Leah Wood winning first place and junior Kathryn Dalby getting third place.

“The test went pretty well, considering I got first, but it was pretty hard,” Wood said. “It was really challenging because there [were] a lot of calculations we had to do.”

The calculator team beat the high school record for the highest combined score in UIL Calculator at a meet.

“We went there and cleaned house at Whitehouse, and we swept one, two, three and four in calculator and absolutely decimated the competition,” Boone said.
