Kilough Elementary fifth grader Jacob Vaughan had a real "hankering" to win last week's countywide spelling bee at Dawson County Middle School. J.T., as he is known to family and friends, correctly spelled the word and then confidently recited the letters "n-i-n-e-t-e-e-n" to claim the title Jan. 27. An avid reader who admits he gets in trouble on occasion in class because he can't put his books down, J.T. is now moving on to the 2016 District Spelling Bee to be held Feb. 27 at Mabry Middle School in Marietta.
