Thirty middle school spellers sat nervously on stage at Dawson County Middle School last week for the annual spelling bee that ended up going through eight rounds before reaching the final two contestants-Megan Wright and Madelyn Lee. Wright, a 12-year-old seventh grader, took first after correctly spelling Honolulu and neutron on Jan 12. If that sounds easy, she also spelled burglarious in the round prior and runner up Lee handled tenaciously.
