Odom said they will try to go every two years to nationals.
“We will still compete, to see how well we do, but we won’t go to national leadership qualifiers.” Odom said.

“This year since we won’t try to advance we will use it to help us improve in our quizzes,” Howard said.
Howard said she has some goals of her own.
“My personal goal is to advance in the Knowledge Bowl Life Smarts quizzes, be more successful in fundraising and to partake in community service more,” Howard said.
Stovall said he felt great when he was chosen to be part of the “Dream Team.”
“I feel very appreciated to be part of the team,” Stovall said. “This year I plan to meet more often with my team and practice our quiz bowls.”
Stovall said he feels like this will be another successful year with FCCLA.
“I think we will advance and accomplish many things throughout this year,” Stovall said. “Right now I am looking forward for our Halloween party at the end of this month.”
