This past week, Blanchard Middle School (in Westford), held their geography bee, which involves the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders (approximately 700 students).  The winner of the bee goes on to compete at a state level.

This year, the winner and runner-up came from the 7th graders....and both are students of Moncreaff's Kenpo Karate Studio and reflects their habits of striving for excellence:

   Nick Calow - 1st place
   Nathan Prentice - 2nd place

For the tie-breaker rounds, both individuals were given the same questions, and they wrote down their answers.
It took seven tie-breaker rounds before one student got an answer that the other missed!
