A little good-natured ribbing and friendly competition can inspire students to give their best, and that seemed to be on display Friday at the Little Oscars.
Iola High School senior Austin Morris joked that every time he competes against the talented Hannah Andersen, she always wins.
But when the votes were counted, Morris walked away with three of Little Oscar statues to Andersen’s two. His wins included two of the biggest awards, the Don Bain Showman of the Year and the Susan S. Miller – Most Inspirational Forensics Team Member.
