On March 26, 2026, eight middle school district-winning teams from across the Sandhills Region IV District, including Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Hoke, Moore, Robeson, Sampson, and Scotland counties, competed in the annual Battle of the Books competition. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as students demonstrated not only their deep knowledge of this year’s books but also remarkable teamwork, focus, and composure. The competition remained close throughout the day, and we are proud to announce the top three teams:
---3rd Place -Robeson County
---2nd Place - Moore County
---1st Place - Cumberland County (South View Middle)
South View’s team of three students was truly on their game, answering with confidence and consistency throughout the day. They now advance to the State Battle of the Books competition to represent Cumberland County and Sandhills Region IV on April 27, 2026, in Statesville, NC. Congratulations and Good Luck!
