Students place in regional punt, pass and kick competition

Four winners from Greystone Elementary’s Punt, Pass and Kick Competition traveled to Chattanooga, Tenn., in October and competed in the Sectional Competition. The competition featured participants from all over Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky. The participants from Greystone performed well, bringing home one first-place finish and three fourth-place finishes. 

Nicholas Dunlap finished first in the 10 to 11-year-old boys division. This is Nick’s second first-place finish in as many years. Kaleigh Rice, Josh Harrington and Kenna Burdett all finished in fourth place, missing third place by narrow margins. 

“I am extremely proud of how our students performed at the Sectionals,” said Rand Payton, physical education teacher at Greystone Elementary. “There is a lot of pressure for these young students performing in front of many more people and on a bigger field than they were accustomed to at Greystone.”
