Quiz Bowl

October 8, 2009 was a very exciting day for BCA. I took 8 students to our first ever quiz bowl match. The students boarded a SCAT and set off for Upper Sandusky not know if we would even be able to answer even one question right. We had not practiced as a team and had not even seen a set of buzzers. All of the students were very nervous, but after our first win of 90-20 over Fostoria, the kids were on a roll. They went on to defeat New Reigel 55-50 with a comeback question from Eliana B. and then they won 100-90 over St. Wendelin in overtime after Connie S. answered 2 in overtime. I have never seen the students so pumped up about anything. They were jumping up and down and celebrating such a great win. Highlights of the day were Connie’s 12 correct answers and Adam N’s 7 correct answers. Other students in attendance were Tyler B., Spencer D., Ethan C., Dinah A., and Nick P., all of whom were a great help to the team.
