Congratulations to Plantersville Middle School 7th grader Kingsley Williams, who captured first place Thursday in the Lee County Spelling Bee. Students from Lee County, Tupelo, TCPS, Nettleton, and Baldwyn school districts competed.

Kingsley correctly spelled "sporadic." He is pictured with Plantersville Middle Principal Jerrion Smith (left) and Plantersville Middle Assistant Principal Shay Perry-Gardner.
