Noah Riley wins spelling bee Noah Riley, an eighth-grader, correctly spelled stirrups and became the winner of the 4th annual spelling bee at Howe Middle School. Twenty-two students battled to be the top speller, spelling words such as fiercest, mulish, vortices, and nefarious. Noah will represent Howe in the Grayson County Spelling Bee on Tuesday, February 4, in the auditorium at the South Campus of Grayson County College. These bees are sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company and are the precursor to the National Spelling Bee held in Washington D.C. in May.
