The boys team fought hard but were defeated 1-4 and the girls suffered a loss of 0-5. Boys captain senior doubles one member, Spencer Waldroup, was proud of how his team played through the loss and how much they have grown.

“The team played just how they should’ve today; they played hard and had fun while doing it. I’m proud of how crazy good everyone has gotten, especially for this only being the 1st or 2nd season for most of them. We are getting exponentially better by the match,” Waldroup said.

Last week, Cedar Shoals Model UN went on an overni

Last week, Cedar Shoals Model UN went on an overnight trip to St. Simons Island to attend the Youth in Government Expo, where students participated in simulations of how they would handle crises and proposed resolutions.

“We represented Romania,” senior Semuel Pez said. “Our resolution was banning adult content in Romania because there's a lot of human trafficking, especially in that industry.”

Freshman Maricela Eugenio-Navarrete highlighted how the convention helped her become a better speaker.

“It helps me prepare for what I want to do when I'm older which, is being a lawyer,” Eugenio-Navarrete said. “The experience could help prepare me for that because it makes you become a better speaker. At the beginning we had to introduce ourselves and our country and sometimes you have to ask questions and go up and speak.”
