PELHAM, Ala. (AP) - A 13-year-old eighth-grade student from
DeKalb County has been crowned Alabama's best speller.
Allison Black of Ider won the Alabama Spelling Bee at Oak
Mountain High School Saturday. The victory came a year after she
finished as the first runner-up in the statewide competition.
Black will represent the state at the Scripps National Spelling
Bee in Washington, D.C. this summer. The first runner-up was
Patrick Huang of Calhoun County. Sophie Williams of Montgomery
County was second runner-up.
Black won the contest when she correctly spelled the word
"disparage."
The contestants included 59 students who had won their school
and county spelling bees.
