2002-2003

After competing on the national level for ten years, the Robowranglers were named an inaugural team with FIRST during the 2002-2003 school year.  This honor entitles the team to continually attend all national competitions.  Attending the Lone Star Regional in April, GHS students and L-3 Communications Integrated Systems engineers earned the GM Industrial Design Award and the Xerox Creativity Award.  Team 148 ranked second out of 31 teams at the 2003 FIRST Lone Star Regional, going 15 4ounds and being defeated only once.  At the 2003 FIRST National Championship, "Stack Attack," Team 148 ranked 33rd out of 72 teams in the Curie Division.

2002-2003's team was coached by Greenville High School teachers Vanessa Pope and Terri Galloway.  Students on the team were Casey Collier, Justin Duncan, Seth Garcia, Cory Griffiths, Ryan Jenkins, Matt Mahrer, Jason Maxwell, Beth McClellen, Kevin Morris, Mark Moseley, Ashley Owens, Joel Powell, Rayna Sherman, Lydia Shook, Matt Sikes, Cameron Thatcher, Brandon Torrance, Megan Wineinger, and Sarah Wright.  Volunteering as engineers were Tom Cloutier, James Collier, Adam Davies, Randy Hall, John Hodapp, Steve Lindo, Brad Marcum, David Maxwell, Steve Maxwell, Andy McClellen, Mike Owens, Adam Reppond, Ricky Torrance, Ray Upp, Mike Waggoner, Casey Welch, Monty Wineinger, Allen Yau, and Frankie Yau.
