SHERBURNE – On Saturday, 216 teams from across New York State flooded into the New York State Fair Grounds in Syracuse for the Odyssey of the Mind State Finals.

Five teams from Chenango County participated in the competition and one of those teams qualified for the World Finals. Teams from Sherburne-Earlville, Holy Family and Greenlawn Elementary School took part in Saturday’s New York State Championship. With the highest score for their long-term performance, the Sherburne-Earlville High School team will be advancing to the World Finals.

SE’s high school team was comprised of six students: Seniors Bethany Garrison and Clark Vischi, junior Josie Pierce, Sophomores Tucker Valentine and Eskinado Carvell, and Freshman Brett Lewis. The team took on Problem 3, The Classics. This year’s problem required the students to create an original skit that included an original beast, a hero and side-kick, an epic quest and a rescue.
