Wells Jr., a junior from Baton Rouge majoring in political science and international relations; Christopher L. Braggs, a sophomore from Shreveport majoring in finance; and William A. Waddell, a freshman from Oakley, California, majoring in biology.

Belton, Southern University president-chancellor. “I know they will continue to represent Southern well as they return to this prestigious competition.” Honda Campus All-Star Challenge is a year?round program that includes campus engagement, intramural play, qualifying tournaments and culminates with the National Championship. The fast?paced competition highlights students' academic prowess and ability to answer questions about history, science, literature, religion, the arts and pop culture. As a result, students expand their scope of knowledge; learn teamwork and sportsmanship; travel to California to represent their schools at the National Championship Tournament; and develop a bond with their fellow competitors.
