South Lake High

Over the Holiday break, Team 14141X - BlueShift Robotics competed in a Signature Event in Orlando against over 70 teams from around the world! The team did really well for their first signature event, peaking at 7th in qualification matches. Due to technical issues in some matches, they did not make the elimination rounds but still came out with the Sportsmanship award, which highlights BlueShift’s respect, integrity, and positive attitude on and off the competition field. Great job, Austin, Josiah & Levi!

If you still need a Senior Ad in yearbook, they reopen this weekend! https://yearbookforever.com/
