That is great news, but the aubbies entire team is on the SEC Academic Honor Roll. They are all in the new reading class BASIC Spelling 001.

Their parents should be proud. Today during the spelling Bee a linebacker was able to spell Cat. Of course they spotted him the C and the T. It was a nail bitter but he got it just before the bell. Not even Terry Bradshaw was able to do that!
