Benjamin Cooper Award Nomination Dear Committee Members, I would like to nominate Lee Henry from Brindlee Mountain High School for consideration for the Benjamin Cooper Award. I have known Lee Henry for six years as a quiz bowl sponsor. In that time, I have seen Lee go to great lengths to support the quiz bowl community. Lee has always been very supportive of new programs and offering help and guidance to new coaches, like myself when I started six years ago and then continually helping by offering player critiques and suggestions on ways to improve team play. Lee has also attempted to improve the question format and content in the tournaments in Alabama. Lee introduced the use of pyramidal style questions for use with middle school tournament at his tournaments. This allowed other coaches to see the advantage of using this type of question style and incorporate it into their invitational tournaments. Lee has worked very hard at improving the content of the questions by using more classical literature, science, and history into the questions that he uses for his tournaments and also for the ones those he sales to others for use in their tournaments. Lee is also very active in the Alabama Scholastic Competition Association (ASCA) attending regular meetings and volunteering numerous times to help with various events. Above all else, Lee Henry is a teacher that cares about his players and the sport of quiz bowl. Thank you Matthew Dennis Scottsboro Quiz Bowl Coach [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
