RESULTS
This was a great weekend for our EJHS Robotics Team at the New Palestine Snowbotics tournament. Our very own 52191D team, the Fire Breathing Duckies, won the Judges award for distinguishing themselves with a fine quality interview, exemplary effort, effective communication, teamwork, professionalism, a student-centered ethos, and their ability to overcome obstacles. They also earned accolades from other coaches for their willingness to help other teams overcome adversity. Well done, Jimmy Cazee and Declan Panagopoulos! We are proud of you!

Team 52191G, Pi Squared, had an amazing weekend also! They spent most of the day in first place due to their strategic planning, excellent robot design, driving and scoring skills, and incredible teamwork! They won the Teamwork portion of the tournament, earning a state bid during their first tournament of the year! Way to go, Liam Kersten, Hayden Bolander, Anderson Shertzer, and Garrison Ulmet! We are so proud of you!
