2014 Miss Ramona title goes to Courtney Ford

Judges’ scoring for the Miss Ramona Scholarship Pageant resulted in a tie, spurring organizers to develop an additional question for each of the four contenders to answer.

In the end, Courtney Ford was crowned Miss Ramona while Chersten Sandvik took the title of First Princess in the April 12 Miss Ramona contest.

Elizabeth Bowersox won the Teen Miss Ramona title and Shannon Huff will serve as First Princess on her court.

The girls were crowned by 2013 Miss Ramona Brianna Abarca and Teen Miss Shannon Singleton.

Pageant Director Jill Fleming said that in the 27 years she has been involved in pageants, there has never been a tie.
