This week’s Hornet Spotlight shines brightly on Brandi Maxwell. Brandi plans on going to Southwest Georgia

Technical College. She is going there to major in Cos-

metology. Brandi has been a Pelham Hornet for eight years and maintains

a 4.0 average. She was a cheerleader her sophomore and

junior years at Pelham High. She says the memory she is going to always have about cheering is the stunts that she and her team did. She has been in

Drama and FFA throughout high school. Brandi cur-rently works at Super Nova in Camilla. She has been working there for eight months. We wish Brandi con-

tinued success in college.

This week’s hornet spotlight also shines on Johnny Edwards. He is a proud senior this year and is a mem-

ber of FBLA. He has been a Pelham Hornet all of his life. Johnny’s favorite subject in school is and always has been math. Johnny is going to miss all of the

laughing and joking the class of 2013 does all the time. He has a sister in high school; her name is Brianna Edwards. He

has completed two pathways in business and construction which

is quite an accomplish-ment. Outside of school, Johnny likes hanging

out with his friends, playing video games, and listening to music to pass the time. After high school he wants to go to Southwest GA Technical College to major in

Computer Technology.

SENIORS—Be sure you have solid plans for your life after PHS graduation.

You should have plans for a job, tech-nical college, junior college, university,

or military. See one of your teachers or

Miss Megahee if you need assistance!

the Georgia Hoyas. The Hoyas came in 3rd Place dur-ing the AAU ESPN tournament. They played very hard against teams from all over the United States. They hope to compete in the AAU Nationals this summer. In

order to be a part of this year’s AAU team the boys had to work hard and try out against many boys from the South Georgia area. They represented the Pelham

Hornets very well. Congratulations from The Buzz.

Dance is an international language that the visiting students spon-sored by Rotary had no prob-

lem understanding. Led by Antonio Green, Jr., the students had a great time learning new

steps! The visiting students were studying at various uni-

versities all over the state of Georgia, but still had

time to make a stop in Pelham to visit with PHS students.

This year’s Hornet Idol was held on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at the Pelham High School Auditorium at 6:00PM. This year’s 1st place winner is Caroline Snellgrove. The 2nd and 3rd place winners are Lauren Massey and Yvetta Haywood. For the

second consecutive year, JaJuan Frazier is the winner of the People’s Choice award. Other contestants were Halliotte Bell, Christian Butler, Delanie Aday, Brianna Jones, Karley Fletcher, and Antonio Green, Jr. The show was profitable for the Junior Class Prom Committee, who also entertained the crowd with an ensemble of different dance moves to various song

genres. Mr. Dennis Hill served as Pelham’s own Ryan Seacrest, and the illustrious panel of judges were Mr. Michael Clap-per, Mrs. Dede Megahee, and Mr. Cameron Prince. Miss Josi Megahee did an excellent job putting the show together and appreciates all the hard work from the various people who helped her. PHS Hornet Idol was a huge success; if you missed it, be sure to make plans next year to be a part of this very special school and community event.

This week the tennis team played Baconton Charter,

Monday April 1, 2013. The boys and the girls had really close games. Rebekah Smith

and Courtney Hilliard had a great game! They won their first set and came close in their second and third sets. The

team also played Seminole County on Tuesday, April 3rd. They had a close game.

Kristen Whitfield and Shawnee Fenton won their matches. The

rest of the team was finishing up their matches, but were brought to an abrupt halt. A

Seminole County player was hit in the eye with a tennis racket and lost some of his vision, so the remainder of the

match had to be canceled so he could get medical attention.
