Academic Team experience comes full circle

Click headline for story with photo

The Academic Team experience now comes full circle. Former Academic Team member and State Finalist at Adair County High School Brittany Curry is now a State Finalist Coach at Letcher County Central High School in Whitesburg, Kentucky.

At the State Championships, she caught up with her old coach Brett Reliford, who is fielding another set of competitors from Adair County schools at State this year. Curry had led her team at Letcher County Central to their first Quick Recall appearance at State in the last five years, along with a host of individual competitors who advanced.

Curry described the experience of coaching as being a unique look at the other side of the competitive experience, saying that she sees so many coaching elements that were described during her years as a player.

Reliford noted that he was beaming with pride to see her there with her team and that he remembers fondly how competitive and flat out good the teams were with Curry on it. "Nothing means more than to see her carrying on the tradition and succeeding at the highest level," he said.

Letter: Praise for However Much

Phillip Coffee writes:
Love "However Much; A sonnet remembering a loss". Thanks to Robert Stone. Could not say it better myself though I shall keep trying - undeterred.

Spring is often a bummer. Thanks, again.

With losses often comes gains, not seen immediately but later while maturing and aging without deliberation.

However Much: A sonnet remembering a loss

By Robert Stone, 18 March 2022
However much we know much more awaits
our questioning and if we do not ask,
we risk the coming doom that separates
all answering from silent final mask,

However much we love we should love more
for we gain more the more we give away,
and lose when we see needs we then ignore
or barely meet and claim we did obey.

However much we do we could do more
for every small encouraging thing counts
and any kindness will increase our score
as tallying each goodness total mounts.

If we delay there is no making up,
our deeds undone lead to a bitter cup.
