The second team to compete was the Meats team, consisting of Sophomores Brooklyn Frakes, Tori Hawk, Samara Martin, and Alexis Nell. “We had to look at different meats and know what cuts they were, and we also had to rate different meats from best to worst. This was a good experience for me because I had to engage with other people and work on social skills,” said sophomore Samara Martin.
