Scholars bowl won first place at the Dec. 17 meet in Russell.

Competitors included captain Levi Hickert, senior Harold Hale II, sophomores Alicia Feyerherm, Allison Brooks and Anna Brull.

“Since it was the same night as the winter concert, and 16 of the 22 kids signed up for scholars bowl were in it, the kids who went did a great job,” instructor Cheryl Shepherd-Adams said.

Brull said the medals won were not ready and the team was disappointed because of that.

Shepherd-Adams said she was very pleased with the team and the results, but the competitors should work on science trivia.

“I am very pleased with how the team did,” Brull said. “In the first round, we started off on the wrong foot, but then we started communicating better and gained a lot of confidence in our answers.”
