Lytle Independent School District

This weekend past weekend, April 17th, Mason Davila competed in the UIL Academic Number Sense Regional Competition at Davenport High School. He placed 1st out of 44 other contestants from our Region. This is the 2nd year in a row he has won the Number Sense contest and qualified for State. It would be 3 years if not for the pandemic. If you are not familiar with the Number Sense Contest, all students must solve the problems in their head. They are not allowed to write anything down except for the answer. Any incorrect answers, skipped questions, or stray erasure or pencil marks are counted wrong. They only have 10 minutes to complete the test. In 10 minutes, Mason answered 33 questions.  He got 27 of them correct. That’s a little more than 18 seconds per question! Mason is not only a sharp math student. He excels in all of his classes, he is an outstanding young Varsity baseball player, a member of the Pirate Band, and a wonderful example of citizenship here at Lytle High School.  Please congratulate him when you see him, and wish him well at the State Meet on May 1st.
