One Act Going to Super-Region

Second place in district!

by Keaton Ingle, senior

The Burton High School one-act team is moving on after winning second place in conference at Coeburn Middle School. Eastside High School, the previous state champion, got first place.

Outstanding Actor Award and Honorable Mentions

These kids have worked hard for weeks and deserve to go to super region. One kid in particular, Carter Addison, won an Outstanding Actor Award at the competition. He is a determined eighth-grader that does many school functions like tennis, cross country, and president for the eight grade class. Also, Shamiyen Noel, Shakira Cooney, Dasanye Smith, Noah Elkins, and Justin Sexton won Honorable Mention Outstanding Actor awards.

The one-act team is working harder than ever with practice everyday after school making sure their performance of Charlie Foster is perfect for super regions on November 10.  They'll also be doing a school performance on Nov. 5 at 1:00 p.m.

Alex Carroll had nothing but excitement and joy for this years performance saying, "Im glad we did this play this year. As a senior, I want to go as far as possible and keep the adventure going, not wanting it to end."

Mrs. Cassell said, "I am incredibly proud of how hard these students have worked to bring this story to life."

Everyone here at the blog wishes them the best in super-regions and hopes they get to state.
