SUBMITTED PHOTO St. Roch Grade School’s junior Spell Bowl team has won its third straight state title in the Indiana Association of School Principals Spell Bowl. Led by coaches Mary Ann Chamberlin and Carol Golden, the team correctly spelled 69 out of 72 words and won by an impressive six words before a standing-room-only crowd Nov. 15 at Purdue University’s Loeb Playhouse. “Winning this championship three years in a row is a huge thrill,” Chamberlin said. “This was our highest score ever, and coach Golden and I are so proud of our spellers. Many hours of hard work went into their performance; we are so glad that their efforts were rewarded with seven spellers having perfect scores.” Team members are (front, from left) Nicko Greene, Olivia Noone*, Eva Fox*, Samantha Bova, Audrey Troxell*, Abigail Snyder*, Jennifer Noone, Celeste Gorball, Sophia Cecil, Katey Reed; (back) Chamberlin, Elizabeth Bradley*, Erik Hommel, Jacob West*, Tommy Hansen, Raquel Ramsey, Leeann Dean, Elizabeth Eads*, Matthew Gaskill and Golden. * Denotes perfect score.
