The championship title contest, which took place in Torrance, California in front of top HBCU students, school presidents, HCASC alumni and Honda associates, included a $75,000 institutional grant for Spelman.
Spelman College Wins HCASC
Honda annually awards more than $350,000 in institutional grants to participating HBCUs in addition to providing all travel arrangements and accommodations to 48 teams.
The Honda Campus All-Star Challenge competition consists of students answering questions about a number of topics, including arts, pop culture, history, literature, religion and more.
Spelman squared off against Florida A&M University, sweeping them twice.
Spelman’s winning team was coached by Daniel Bascelli and includes Jessika Agyepong, Maati McKinney, Naomi Steplight, and team captain, Ariana Benson.
“Winning itself isn’t the only reward. It’s about bringing these students together and watching them represent their school in the best possible way,” Bascelli said in a news release. “The spirit at Spelman is really strong. If you talk to the students, the feeling for Spelman, the feeling for HCBCUs and the support that Honda gives them is all a part of the pride that they feel.”
Spelman now qualifies for the National Championship Tournament. Morehouse College, which was a runner-up, received $20,000 for its placement.

Atlanta is one of the cities that lead the United States in electricity usage, according to new statistics on energy consumption. Here are the details.
Sense, the innovator in Home energy savings, compiled the electricity data for more than 4,000 residences nationwide. The results show that the Southwest uses the most electricity of any region in the United States.
As for Atlanta, it came in No. 12 in electricity usage.
Here are the cities that use the most and least electricity

Since 2015, Atlanta officials have made it a goal to cut energy use at government buildings, including City Hall. They have sought to reduce gasoline usage in the municipal fleet, and increase recycling at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
The Office of Sustainability works with city departments to coordinate implementation efforts toward their local government goals.
When it came to cities with the most energy usage, hot, sunny Phoenix, AZ, used the most electricity than any other city. That figure was twice as much as Salt Lake City, UT, and more than three times as much as San Jose, CA.
Homeowners in Texas cities Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio use about twice as much electricity as residents in Providence, RI, or Denver, CO. This difference is partly due to the weather—but also shows the opportunities for more efficient ACs, pool pumps and other home devices.
How Atlanta homeowners can reduce energy costs
- Identify energy sources that sap power and reduce them: Common culprits include pool pumps and heaters, hot tubs, old water heaters, inefficient HVAC systems, incandescent lighting, always on devices, and older model appliances and consumer electronics.
- Look into solar power: Sunny places like Atlanta are ideal to take advantage of solar energy. This can have a dramatic effect on a home’s overall energy footprint.
- Sustainable homes: When it comes to building structures, choose residences built to near net zero standards. Learn more at Sense.com.
Atlanta has a lot of inspirational people and AtlantaFi.com is going to introduce you to many of them as well as cool places to go, great restaurants and other ATL happenings.
