The competition from the Huntsville teams has been fierce as they are strong, top-notch programs. So to say we are proud of the accomplishments of our two teams thus far would be an understatement - especially for just our second season of GreenpowerUSA and with our #999 team being a new, first-year team. We look forward to an exciting finish to the season in Chattanooga, TN this weekend at the green|spaces Chattanooga F24 race. It should be a blast!

#000 Team - 2nd PLACE (1,258 season points)
Throughout this season we traveled over 1,600 miles to attend 7 races in Alabama, Georgia, & Tennessee. We could not be more excited to announce that our brand new #999 team earned a grand total of 1,331 season points out the possible 1,540, more than any other middle school team in the entire United States - making them the 2019 National Champions in the middle school division. Additionally our #000 team earned a total of 1,258 season points, placing them 2nd in the nation for the middle school division. Our program total for miles driven during race heats was 583.67 miles between both cars.
Their dedication to competing at such a high level across an entire season against so many veteran, top-notch programs was remarkable. So to say we are proud of the accomplishments of our two teams would be an understatement - especially for just our second season of GreenpowerUSA and with our #999 team being a brand new, first-year team.
We’d like to thank our sponsors, team parents, & our school administration for their support. Coaching these two teams has been an honor and a privilege, and definitely one of the highlights of my 15 years at Long Cane Middle School. Congratulations to Cougar Strong Racing #999 & #000 - #1 & #2 in the Nation! -Mr. Graham 🏆🏁🔋🏎💨🐾
