The academic team spent the day Saturday in Eatonton at an invitational academic bowl tournament.There were 18 teams from Georgia and Hilsman captured 1st place. They won all 7 roounds and scored the highest number of points. Please congratulate the following students when you see them:
Cathy Deng
Xing Gao
Mike Xiao
Morgan Smith

C-Team Baseball
We wrapped up our season on Saturday by losing 3-1 to Oconee’s 9th grade/JV team in the first game and defeating them 8-5 in the second game by scoring 5 runs in the sixth inning. These kids fought all day and I am very proud of them. These 7th and 8th graders from Hilsman and Coile played exceptionally well despite facing 9th and 10th graders all season. With that in mind, an overall 5-8 record is a huge accomplishment. If you were not able to see these guys, you missed some really good baseball. We thank you all for your support and encouragement. Please congratulate the guys when you see them
