Burley High School had twenty six, and Declo High School had fifteen, students attend the State Competition in Boise in mid February where seventeen bobcats and eleven hornets placed in the Top Ten. Of those 28 placers, twelve bobcats and eight hornets qualified for the National BPA competition to be held May 10-14 in Chicago.
The students earned the right to attend the State Competition by winning or placing highly at the district level competition held earlier this school year. The BPA advisors who accompanied these students to the state competition were Burley High Schools' Janet Cole and Cherise Gentry and Chancey Christiansen from Declo High School.
