Dozens of family members Saturday packed into the Feddersen Recital Hall at Mt. San Antonio College to cheer on a group of spelling whiz kids who frequently asked one very important question - "Can you use the word in a sentence?"

Tin Kuo of Walnut and Rebecca Norden-Bright of Upland sparred back and forth for 25 rounds before Tin won the sixth championship round after correctly spelling "paladin."
