The Thrill and The Agony

Today's spelling bee reminds me of that popular tagline from ABC's Wide World of Sports- a popular weekend sports show.  Yes, today's competition had it all.  There was the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.  So many students went in to the auditorium sure they were the best speller- they were sure they would win.  Unfortunately most left with their heads hanging down-wishing they had been much more sucesful  successful.
