Quiz Bowl Finishes Runner-Up in History/Geography Tournament
Launch the media gallery 1 playerThe Heartland Quiz Bowl Team traveled to Seward on Wednesday, April 1, to compete in the History/Geography tournament. The morning started like an April Fool's Day joke with the organizer informing us that we were scheduled to have two teams, but we only brought six students.
The team members played rock-paper-scissors and divided into two teams to compete in the round-robin matches scheduled for the morning.The two teams were each a player short, but they competed hard and ended the morning with a combined record of 3-3.
The afternoon consisted of a single-elimination tournament, and the members combined to make one full team. The first match against Dorchester started slowly, but the Huskies came away with a decisive 100 point victory. The next match was against the second seed from Shelby-Rising City, and Heartland dominated the match from the start, winning 125-60. The third round was a rematch against Howells-Dodge, and having a full team resulted in a victory.
After winning their way through the bracket, they faced the team from Nebraska Lutheran. After a slow start, they finished the day as the runner-up team.
The team will compete in the Underclassmen Quiz Bowl on May 6 in Seward to conclude the season.
