Quiz bowl goes 1-2 at districts

This year’s ESU 16 District High School Quiz Bowl Tournament was held in Sutherland on Monday, April 1.  

Perkins County competed against 13 teams including Sutherland, Wallace, Arthur, Mullen, Maxwell, Stapleton, South Platte, North Platte St. Patrick’s, Ogallala, Hershey, Hyannis, Paxton and Thedford in a double-elimination, bracket-style tournament.

Perkins County went 1-2, losing to Stapleton 20-55, beating Maxwell 35-5 and losing to Ogallala 25-55.

They did not qualify for the all-class state tournament. Typically, the season would be over. However, the SPVA conference meet was postponed, so the last tournament of the year will be the SPVA meet at Bridgeport on Apr. 8.

Quiz Bowl Team members include  Hailey Snyder, Peyton Woodmancy, Jacob Woodmancy, Matthew Wendell, Josh Malmkar, Ethan Terry, Keegan Sims, Brandon Knoles, Jeb Kohl and Meghan Bishop. The team is coached by Deanne Bishop.
