Latest Scholars’ Bowl News
What do the following have in common: fine wine, cheese, and the SFCHS Scholars’ Bowl team? They all improve over time. On Monday December 3, the team (Captains Audrey Meyer and Seth Mills along with EmmaLee Archuleta, Brady Schoenrogge, and Doyle Easter) met thirteen other teams in pool play at the Colby Invitational Meet. It was an exciting night, as we had our best night yet this season. Although we started off slowly with a loss against Norton, 40-10, we won the next round against Colby A 55-10. We lost the third round against Oberlin in a heartbreaking four question 40-30 tie-breaker. Wins in rounds 4, 5, and 6 against Wheatland, Thomas Moore Prep, and Quinter (40-20, 40-10, and 40-0 respectively) gave us our best record to date: 4 wins, 2 losses, which placed us second in our pool. We then went on to the quarter finals against a very tough team from Hays. However, we held our own and scored 30 points against their 70. The next round was, ironically, against the same Norton team that beat us in the first round. We answered nearly question for question until the score was 40-30, Norton, going into the last question. They answered it correctly to win third place in a 50-30 round. It was the best meet yet, and we are pleased with our performance. Our next meet is on January 7 in Quinter.
