Cunningham, Chavers To Attend Boys State
February 19, 2014
Two Northview High School juniors — Matthew Chavers and Austin Cunningham — have been chosen by Atmore American Legion Post 90 to attend Florida Boy’s State. Attendees are required to attend one governmental meeting on the local level prior to the trip, and the young men chose to attend a recent meeting of the Century Town Council.
They are being sponsored personally by Century Mayor Freddie McCall.
Matthew Chavers is third academically in his class, a member of the FBLA, tutors his peers in algebra after school and attends Aldersgate United Methodist Church. At Pensacola High School, he was in the International Baccalaureate Program, president of the Chess Club and a member of the Mock Trial Team.
Matthew is an accredited legal secretary — one of the youngest ones in the country. For fun, he enjoys playing video games.
His father and grandfather are both Marine veterans, and his grandfather Mike Adams served in the Vietnam War.
Austin Cunningham plays center on the Northview football team, and was on the state championship team. He lifts weights, able to bench press 240 pounds. He’s a member of the FFA and shows livestock such as cattle.
Austin is class treasurer, SGA treasurer, a member of the Beta Club and is also a member of Highland Baptist Church.
