The team finished the tournament with the Design Award and will advance to the National Competition in Council Bluffs, IA and the World Competition in Louisville, KY in April.

“With grit and determination they push through early setbacks, to be picked up by the Number four seeded team 7110B from Carroll senior high school,” said GHS Iron Cowboys coach, Colin Nobles.

Team 4148A, whose members are Brandon LeBlanc, Jessica Bousquet, Logan Hobson, Romeo Gomez, Tessa Mitchell, Trenton Burns, and Jordan Frimpter, moved forward with their alliance and finished the tournament in the Quarter-Finals.
