chose to do a friendly competition with Chadd Watkins, the principal of Highland Academy. The challenge was whoever had the most points under par would win and the losing team would have to sleep outside on a concrete slab. Not only that, the losing team also had to make a music video that documented the entire experience outside during the sleep out. The winning team was Chadd Watkins and his teammates with 14 under par. He beat the academy students by only 3. The video was shown at awards and memories, and it was definitely a sight to see. Next year’s tournament is already being prepared as we begin to move into the next school year soon. Your participation can help a student from either school in the Kentucky/ Tennessee conference. Consider getting involved next year and make a difference.
