Mr. Beddingfield nominated Riddick and noted, “From the outside looking in; just observing Riddick in Ms. Harman's horticulture class, I find him to be very meticulous in his work/effort on assignments. In the greenhouse, Riddick many times can be seen doing the thankless jobs. As the scholastic bowl coach, Riddick has become much more of a leader, by answering many more tossup questions. Also, he is much more outspoken in practices and matches. Finally, as a father; I take great pride in Riddick as he is always holding the door for EVERYONE as they enter or exit a building or room. His parents can be very proud of him.”

Congratulations Riddick Workman!
