The Barbourville City School District has every reason to be proud of their 2000-2001 Odyssey of the Mind Program. Coordinated by Renee Hall, the season began with an unprecedented nine teams including five elementary teams, two junior high teams and two high school teams. While Barbourville made a strong showing at the Regional Tournament held at Lynn Camp High School on March 17th, it was the State Tournament which showcased Barbourville’s strength. Held at Cumberland College on April 21st, the blue and white section of the auditorium spent much of its time on its feet cheering during the award ceremony. By the end of the evening, Barbourville’s five Odyssey of the Mind teams which competed returned to school with three first places, two second places and one third place. The Barbourville Odyssey of the Mind season continues as five teams will be advancing to World Finals to be held at College Park, Maryland from June 2nd-5th.
