After winning the state title last year, RCS faced new challenges in the contest being a full month earlier this year, as well as changing classifications from 3A to 4A, which more than doubled the number of competitive teams. Facing the stiffest competition to date, RCS students rose to the challenge, encouraged each other, never gave up, and, as a team, RCS was the STATE CHAMPION out of all TAPPS 4A schools in a decisive 35-point victory. This is the third time RCS has been named the State Champion in this contest which garners with it 10 Henderson Cup points. RCS was also the State Champion in Speech and in Academics. Additionally, senior Gili Gould was named the “Virginia Wirth Distinguished Speaker" award for the second year in a row for being the top speech competitor in the state. It was an amazing time of teamwork, friendship, service, and triumph as this 36-member team represented their school and their Savior well.
