Quiz Bowl Competed in America 250 History Contest
The Heartland Quiz Bowl Team traveled to Seward on October 7 to compete in the America 250 History Quiz Bowl competition.
The teams competed in three round-robin matches in the morning with the A team defeating Dorchester and Fullerton B, but losing a nail-biter to the eventual runner-up team from Hampton. This earned them the #5 seed with a 2-1 record.
The B team was also defeated by Hampton and lost to Osceola. They were barely defeated by the Fullerton A team to finish 0-3 and earn the #10 seed.
The single-elimination tournament in the afternoon began with the B team facing the #7 seeded team from Howells-Dodge. The match was low scoring and unfortunately, the Huskies lost 35-30 and ended the day 0-4.
The A team found themselves in a rematch with the #4 seed team from Fullerton B. In a high scoring match, the Huskies found themselves on the short end of the scoreboard ending the day 2-2.
The fall quiz bowl season has concluded for the Huskies. A few students will be attending the UNL Math Day competition in Lincoln on November 10.
The season will pick back up after the holidays with competitions including SNC and ESU 6 tournaments.
