Bellefontaine Middle School eighth-grader Graham Lotts won the school’s spelling bee Tuesday. He emerged as the winner and became a repeat champion by spelling “feta” in round 16. Pictured with him is runner-up Mackenzie Stripe, a sixth-grader, who also earned the second place spot in the fifth-grade bee last year at Bellefontaine Intermediate. Both of these students will represent Bellefontaine City Schools at the Logan County Spelling Bee in January. Graham will also take an online test in January in hopes of continuing to the next level in the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition. (BELLEFONTAINE SCHOOLS PHOTO)
