By the time you read this, Michael Austin, Bulloch County’s 2014 Spelling Bee Champion, might already be taking the stage to compete against champions from 17 other counties at the District 8 Spelling Bee in Waycross.“I think I’ll do well,” the 10-year-old fifth grader said Friday during his lunch break at Mattie Lively Elementary School. “I don’t know what words they’ll call out, but I’ve studied all of them.” He was referring to a list of suggested spelling words provided to contestants by coordinators of the Georgia Association of Educators district bee, which will be held at 10 a.m. in the Waycross campus of South Georgia State College.
