MONTCALM — Voting ends at midnight tonight to decide which West Virginia student will win a college scholarship. A Montcalm High School student hopes she will be the one.
Brooke Alexandra Bailey. 16, is an upcoming senior at MHS, is working to garner enough votes to win a scholarship at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. Bailey is competing against a dozen other students from across the state for the four-year tuition and fees scholarship.
She checked her total ballots Friday. As of 2 p.m. that day, 2,946 people had voted for her.
“I’ve jumped to first place, that’s for sure,” she said. “I’m almost 600 ahead of second place.”
