The SMS Quiz Bowl team held off a late charge by the faculty to win the annual grudge match 210-190 Tuesday morning.
The seventh grade quiz bowlers, consisting of Calvin Alumbaugh, Joey Capehart, Elaina Warren, and Danielle Doerr, took a 140-40 lead during the first half over faculty members Ms. Lara Stamper, Ms. Areke Worku, Mrs. Karensue Hensley, and Mr. Jason Neugebauer.

The faculty led by Mr. Rocky Biggers, ably aided by Mrs. Angela Mense, Mr. Jason Weaver, and Mr. Seth Wolfshorndl came alive in the second half against eighth graders Alex Kangethe, Matt Cruzan, Sarah Kessler, Mary Jean Miller, and Yainer Oviedo to narrow the final margin.

The 20-point victory came courtesy of Miss Kessler's answering a question about ballet and Kangethe displaying his knowledge of music.
