Sandy Creek's Oswego County Academic Youth (OCAY) League team took home third place in the first event of the 2019-20 season.

The first event, called Lit Pitch, challenged participants to create a story idea for a young adult book and then pitch their idea to a panel of judges who were acting as publishers.

Sandy Creek's third-place team consisted of Jessica Graham, Emma Halsey, Deanna Hathway, Abigail Lantry, Emma McDougal, Hailey McNitt, Alexia Phillips and Emily Ward.

Each team needed to create a book cover, a story synopsis and character portrait to support their story idea. In addition to the story pitch presentation, each team had to battle head-to-head in a variety of other mini-challenges including an author word scramble, a rotating Scrabble game and various literary-themed quizzes.
