Fort Pierce Westwood Academy Took 2nd in the State at the West Coast Ocean Bowl

Five students woke up at 3am and sacrificed their Valentines Day Saturday to travel and conquer the West Coast Ocean Bowl, dubbed the Spoonbill Bowl.  It has been five years since we last took 1st and 2nd place on the East Coast.
Jaella Jones, Mariana Ruppert, William Hussey, Ava Mendoza, and Team Captain Roslyn Tran went UNDEFEATED for 9 rounds to earn a spot in the finals.  In the end, Fort Pierce Westwood placed 2ND in the STATE to bring home a trophy, medals, and cash prizes.
Next year, we will secure our schools 4th trip to the National Ocean Bowl.  Special thanks to our Marine Science and Environmental Management teachers who helped forge this elite team of panthers that so easily slashed their way to the top.
