Hamblen County is 2004 State Dairy Bowl Winner

        Hamblen Co. Team Returns From Louisville

The State 4-H Dairy Bowl was held on June 2 in conjunction with the “June is Dairy Month” Kickoff luncheon in Nashville. A team from Hamblen County composed of Justin Quinn, Preston Morris, Kristin Ramsey and Mindy Scott took top honors in the senior division. Tipton County was second in the senior division with Coffee and McMinn counties rounding out the field of teams.

The Hamblen County team will represent Tennessee in the 2004 Invitational Dairy Quiz Bowl in Louisville, Kentucky this November. Their coach was volunteer leader Donna Morris.

Coffee County was the winner in the junior high division of the contest. Team members were Laura Bradshaw, Chris Callahan, Andy Bunting and Tiffany LaLonde. Marshall County was second place with Tipton County completing the field of junior high teams.
