On Tuesday Nov. 25, 12 teams, made up of juniors and seniors, participated in the annual Turkey Bowl tournament. After a day full of competition, the winning team was Poultry in Motion.
My name is Madison Aboud, and this is my fourth year on the Mountain Echo staff. I am honored to serve as Editor in Chief for the 2025 – 2026 school year. In 2023, I did an Editorial Leadership training through CSPA (Columbia Scholastic Press Association). In July 2024, I served as a National Youth Correspondent for the Washington Journalism and Media Conference (WJMC) at George Mason University. When I’m not focused on the Mountain Echo, you can find me reading, spending time with friends and family or hanging out with my dogs. After I graduate, I plan to major in English and minor in Communications. My goal this year is to represent our student body accurately and fairly.
My name is Elijah Lucio, but most people just call me Lucio. This is my first year on the Mountain Echo Staff. In addition to joining the staff, I’ve run both cross country and track for three years. I am also a part of Soar. Outside of school, I love to hang out with friends, work out, listen to music and play/watch sports. I’m a very passionate Eagles fan, so anytime you see me, feel free to shout a “Go Birds.” I plan to continue to raise my SAT score with the hopes of getting accepted to Penn State University to major in something within the health field.
My name is Andie Kephart, and this is my second year on the Mountain Echo staff. In addition to writing for the Mountain Echo, I am on the swim team and involved in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). Outside of school, I am a part of a weightlifting team, and have traveled all over the U.S to compete in different competitions. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and listening to music, especially the Jonas Brothers. After high school, I plan to major in exercise science.
