DCHS Math and Science Team win Sweepstakes Honors; Four Students Earn Sweepstakes Honors

            The Denver City Math and Science team traveled to Lubbock, Saturday, December 3^rd, to compete in the Texas Tech “Christmas at Tech” UIL practice meet where they came home with the 3A through 4A division Sweepstakes.

Due to other conflicts, only four DCHS students were able to attend. These four were seniors Ray Carrasco, Gehrig Curtis, John Michael Davis, and Cameron Garcia. Short in numbers these four seniors still managed to win the 3A thru 4A division Sweepstakes for Denver City.

The following results are for the individual contests: Ray was 7^th in Number Sense, 9^th in Calculator, 7^th in Math, and 6^th in Science; Gehrig was 5^th in Number Sense, 2^nd in Calculator, 5^th in Math, and 5^th in Science; John Michael was 4^th in Number Sense, 3^rd in Calculator, 4^th in Math, and 8^th in Science; and Cameron was 2^nd in Number Sense, 4^th in Calculator, 6^th in Math, and 3^rd in Science.

            In addition, the Number Sense team was 2^nd, the Calculator team place 1^st, the Math team was also 1^st, and the Science team was 2^nd.

            “Teams consisted of the top 4 scores from a school and that worked out well for us since we brought only four students,” Coach Richie Cullins said. “We were fortunate to bring home Sweepstakes honors with just these four. I am very proud of these students and how they represent our school district.”
