Club moderator Mr. McClain desired a photo to capture the results of the tournament: “I was so proud of the way these guys performed, I told them, ‘Smile everybody! Y’all are my A-Team!’ I don’t know why so many guys looked so glum. I had a good time…”
Senior and MA0-Rookie, Zachary Baier replied, “I thought he said, ‘Smile like you’re James Dean. That’s what I did.”
Undeterred, Mr. McClain continues, “I’m really excited for State Convention! We have a couple of tournaments left to sharpen our skills before the big event!”
The Crusader Mathletes are back in action at the District I Meeting at Cabrini High School on February 18th.
