Hemingford Junior High School students continued a recent tradition of doing well at the Box Butte County Spelling Bee, with 7th Grader Natalie Gasseling spelling "extemporaneous" to win the championship, while 7th grade classmate Austin Wobig finished in third place. Parents of the two trophy winners are Rick and Patti Wobig of Hemingford, and Ryan and Jennifer Gasseling of Hemingford.
The contest included students from all three county schools, St Agnes Catholic, Alliance Public, and Hemingford. Hemingford Public Schools has had the good fortune to provide the last three champions in a row, with Matthew Wood in 2011 and Asa Carlson in 2010 also reigning as Champions.
