The Clinton County Middle School 6th grade Academic Team competed in the Section 22, 6th Grade Showcase held at Science Hill Elementary on Saturday, December 3. There were six school districts represented in the competition.

The team placed first in overall points standings, taking the championship trophy. The team also placed first in Quick Recall, ending the day undefeated. Several students placed in individual written assessment. Those students were as follows:

4. Loren Little (1st in Language Arts and 1st in Composition)
