Advisor Dave Kimble, left, and some of Magnolia High Schools’ TSA team hold the state trophy, which the school has earned for 15 consecutive years.

For the 15th consecutive year, the Magnolia Blue Eagle TSA (Technology Students of America) Team has brought home first place in the West Virginia State TSA Competition.

Also for the 15th year in a row, Magnolia won the Outstanding Chapter Award. In addition, the chapter will be recognized at the national competition for its State Chapter Excellence Award and the State Community Service Award.

The win was even more special as MHS swept all three places in the Mousetrap Vehicle Division, with first place going to Dillon Huggins. Second and third places were captured by Ethan Wayman and Bryan Huggins, respectively.

Magnolia’s Katie Haught also was elected 2010-11 treasurer of the State TSA organization.

Dillon’s vehicle was demonstrated for a school assembly that recognized the achievement April 1. The buggy-powered by a fishing line and mounted on CD-Rom disks for wheels-ran the complete east-west length of the gym floor. It would have gone farther, except for the wall under the basketball hoop.

In addition, Ryan Ritchea won first place in the Music Production competition for his original song and guitar accompaniment, which was played for the MHS students

The victory means that MHS has won the event almost one-half as long as the competition has existed-and had won several times before the 15-year winning streak began in 1994.
