also posted on hsquizbowl.org The Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence proudly announces the 2008 recipients of the Benjamin Cooper Awards. The Academic Ambassador Award: Matt Knupp of Russell HS, KY for his efforts in supporting and improving academic competition in Kentucky, specifically his outreach efforts to other KY coaches and teams, efforts to build a coaches' network in the state, and his efforts to promote high ethical and sportsmanship standards among KY coaches while in the KAAC. The Young Ambassador Award: Lee Henry of Brindlee Mountain High School, AL in recognition of his dedication and effort in building Alabama Quizbowl, specifically building a framework for pyramidal play, and facilitating interactions between Alabama teams, out-of-state teams and outside vendors. In solidarity with ACF's choice of Chris Sewell for their Gordon Carper Award, PACE would like to award him a second Young Ambassador Award. His development of the stat program SQBS has also greatly assisted in the operation of many a High School Tournament. -- PACE congratulates Matt, Lee and Chris; they will be formally recognized for their contributions in service to the high school academic competition circuit at the 2008 National Scholastics Championship. We also thank everyone who has provided assistance/input in selecting this year's award recipients. Selection is -- as it has been for years -- a fairly tough decision. All those nominated this year will certainly be considered for the next round. We look forward to seeing everyone in Fairfax! Regards, Tricia Southard on behalf of the Benjamin Cooper Awards Committee and PACE
