The Cumberland High School Scholastic Bowl team had two students recognized at the IHSSBCA All-State Banquet. Camden James and Rylan James were both honored as All-State 1st Team members. Only 10 players across the state make 1st team! This is Camden's 3rd year of being honored, and Rylan's second. We are very proud of their achievements!
