The Scripps National Spelling Bee is one of the most dramatic and brain-crippling-yet-enthralling competitions of the year.
While the summer time is intended to serve as an opportunity for students of all ages to avoid the stress and work of schoolwork and studying, they -- along with the adults no longer dealing with tedious lecture halls and the sort on a daily basis -- are captivated by the annual competition.
Keeping your high level of interest and competitiveness in mind, House of Sparky has constructed a spelling bee list of its own, using some of the most unique names we could find on any Sun Devil sports team rosters.
The only hints we’ve provided for you to see are what team they’re on, what position is and where they’re from.
