Wilson County celebrated significant achievements during the Commissioner’s Court meeting on December 9, 2024, highlighting the accomplishments of local youth in both poultry judging and volleyball.

The meeting opened with a presentation from a member of the Wilson County poultry judging team, who recently competed in Louisville, Kentucky. The team excelled in various categories, including egg grading and market quality, securing first place overall with a narrow victory margin of just half a point—the smallest in over 30 years of competition. Individual accolades included Trent Ellabrock and Cambry Simmons earning second place, while the presenter secured fourth place. The team expressed gratitude for community support during their preparation, which began in mid-July.

In another highlight, the court proclaimed November 22 as "Lady Brahma Volleyball Day" in recognition of the Stockdale Lady Brahmas' triumph as the University Interscholastic League 3A Division II State Champions. Commissioner Aiken praised the team's dedication and hard work, emphasizing the pride their victory brought to Wilson County. The proclamation also honored Leanne Weiss, who set a new state record for the most volleyball kills at a state tournament and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

The meeting underscored the importance of community support for youth programs and the recognition of local achievements, fostering a sense of pride and unity within Wilson County. As the community looks forward, these accomplishments serve as a testament to the hard work and dedication of its young athletes.
