As a culmination celebration of finishing the ACAP state testing, students at Hartselle Intermediate School attended a slam dunk and three-point contest between HHS alumni and current players April 28.

Local sports entrepreneur and agility trainer Dave Jacobs served as the emcee and motivational speaker for the event.

Principal Earon Sheats said HIS students showed great perseverance and responsibility while preparing for the test.

One teacher asked me after the event, “How are we going to top this next year?”
