The PHS Fish Fighters took first place and fourth place Saturday at the 2010 Hurricane Bowl in Ocean Springs, MS. The “A” team took the first place trophy by going undefeated through the competition while the “B” team took home the fourth place trophy in the competition. The PHS Fish Fighters will now travel to The University of South Florida in St. Petersburg to compete in the national competition on April 23, 24, and 25.
The Fish Fighters are an academic team that competes in the Hurricane Bowl, an annual academic quiz bowl that pits teams from Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida against each other on the topic of oceanography. The Hurricane Bowl is part of a nation wide competition called the National Ocean Sciences Bowl© (NOSB) which is organized by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. The NOSB mission is to enrich science teaching and learning across the United States through this high-profile national competition that increases high school students' knowledge of the oceans and enhances public understanding and stewardship of the oceans.
As winners of this year’s Hurricane Bowl, the PHS Fish Fighters will represent the central Gulf of Mexico region in the national competition in April. At the April competition students from throughout the United States will compete for the national honor which includes scholarships and scientific field trips to locations like Hawaii and Costa Rica. This will mark Poplarville High School’s third trip to national competition, having traveled to Charleston, SC in 2004 and Stony Brook, NY in 2007.
The Fish Fighters have established quite a reputation at both the local Hurricane Bowl and the national competition because the team dresses in costumes for the competition. At the national competition in 2004 the team went as the “Poplarvillage People”, in 2007 they were costumed as pirates, and this year the Fish Fighters arrived at the Hurricane Bowl as ninjas. One coach remarked as the team made a grand entrance, “Well Poplarville has arrived.” Another coach, and former PHS teacher, Thomas Woodward said, “nice entrance,” worth noting since Mr. Woodward began the PHS team and the custom of costuming.
The Fish Fighters practice throughout the school year for the competition and their work pays off with numerous trophies from their 10 years of participation, including two Admiral James D. Watkins awards won at the 2004 and the 2007 national competition. Student members of the Fish Fighters are; Becky Stark, Ben Mitchell, Elizabeth Jones, Haylee Burge, Jared Stewart, Jonathon Broom, Justin Williams, Kaitlyn Dupont, Kendell Lee, Landon Tynes, Melanie Hall, Nicholas Aubé, Nigel Simmons, Shelby Ramming, Spencer Bayhi, Stephen Harris, Eric Wells, and Tommy Patten.
The Fish Fighters are coached by PHS teacher Mel Hall with two former Fish Fighters serving as assistant coaches. Straddford Goins was a member of both the 2004 and 2007 championship teams and has been an assistant coach for the last three years. Brett Russ, a 2009 graduate, joined the team this year as assistant coach after serving his senior year as a member.

 Mrs. Stacy’s first grade class is excited about the Super Bowl. We held our own Super Bowl game. We had a team representing the Saints and a team representing the Colts. Each team member had to answer some questions. If the team member answered correctly, he/she would pass the football to another team member. If the team member answered incorrectly, he/she would fumble the ball to the other team. The final score was Saints 28 and Colts 21 Our class also made predictions about the winner of Sunday Night’s Game. All the students chose the Saints as the winners. |

 Jonathan Broom has been named STAR student for the 2009-2010 school year and has chosen PHS teacher Mr. Mel Hall as this year’s Star Teacher.
Jonathan is the son of Ernest and Lee Broom. Jonathan is a member of the school’s Ocean Bowl Team. He is a National Merit Semi Finalist and is currently waiting on the results. After graduating, he plans to attend Ole Miss to major in math.
Every school year, one exceptional student from the Poplarville School District is chosen as the Mississippi Economic Council’s STAR student, with the decision being based on the student with the highest ACT score. Jonathan’s ACT score of 34 allowed him to be chosen, along with his high GPA.
According to the website for the Mississippi Economic Council, “The STAR Student is the senior with the highest ACT (minimum of 25) and the highest scholastic average in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades (minimum average of 93).”
Being named STAR student, Jonathan was able to choose one teacher whom he feels has had the greatest impact on his education, and that teacher is Mr. Mel Hall. Mr. Hall has taught Jonathan in Oceanography, Advanced Biology, AP Biology, Astronomy, and has been his Ocean bowl coach three years. |
