Perry's Bus Driving Skills Among The Best

It may not have been the Grand Prix of Italy, Daytona 500 or Indy 500, but the thrill was just the same for Cedar Creek Middle School Athletic Director Brian Perry when he finished ninth in the statewide bus rodeo this week. Perry qualified for the event after finishing third in the county and fourth in the region. Drivers compete in a variety of different challenges, including the ever-difficult obstacle course. FCS' Eddie Hinton won the county competition and went on to finish 12th in the region. The top 10 regional performers qualify for the state show. Ray Thomas finished second in the county, but was unable to attend the regional showdown.
