Senior Jared Holt, has been in quiz bowl for six consecutive years.  The quiz bowl team is open to many students and anyone is welcome to join as long as they are willing to give up and hour every Monday after school.

“Quiz bowl has given me something to look forward to on Mondays so they aren’t just completely terrible,” Holt said.

The members of the quiz bowl team enjoy many different things about quiz bowl.  Holt states that the most enjoyable thing about quiz bowl are the many personalities thatcome together.

The quiz bowl team covers about every subject.  From mathematics, government,  to who rocked the sixties, students are expected to have some back ground knowledge about such topics.

“During quiz bowl practice, we run through a mock game and end up criticizing ourselves way more than we should,”  Holt said.

Many great things are expected this year for the quiz bowl team.

“I am expecting winning state, duh,” Holt said. “We are awesome.”

The quiz bowl will compete in the sate finals on April 14.
