His winning word: inhabitants.
Samuel Evans, a middle school student representing Union County won the 2022 First Coast Spelling Bee.– Sam Evans thought his final shot at competing in the Scripps National Spelling Bee might have ended before it began.
“I just moved here from South Florida about five months ago. It’s a great place. I really like it,” the 8th grader said just minutes after winning the 2022 First Coast Spelling Bee. Evans and his parents were heartbroken to learn their new home of St. Johns County had already conducted its spelling bee. That’s when the Evanses called News4JAX looking for help. The Local Station reached out to the other 13 local counties that had not yet crowned a county champion to see if they would allow the homeschooled student to take part in their bee.Union County welcomed him with open arms. Evans won that county bee. His winning word was “Richter scale”.
