Gaffney High School student Amber Wray can offer advice on staying warm at football games based on the results of her science fair project.

Wray was the school’s 2005 science fair winner for her work in testing the effectiveness of different fabrics in retaining heat. She put various treatments on fabrics like cotton, fleece and flannel before washing the clothing and testing how well it kept a person warm.

Fleece proved to be the warmest fabric.

School winners will advance to the regional science fair at USC Upstate in Spartanburg.

The awards ceremony will be held March 26 at 10 a.m. in the National Guard Armory building.
