South Middle School’s number two quiz bowl team opened its season by capturing first place in a Communication Arts competition at Carl Junction Monday night. It is the first time a South team has won the Traveling Academic Challenge.
The team, consisting of Joey Capehart, captain; Elaina Warren, Abby Bass, and Drew Cox won seven out of nine matches, to tie for first place, then beat Carl Junction 1 in a playoff.
Joey Capehart answered 27 questions correctly, while Drew Cox had 11 and Elaina Warren seven.
South’s number one team took third place in the 10-team competition, and missed forcing a three-way tie for first by only one question. Members of the number one team were Calvin Alumbaugh, Lisa Bromley, Wes Estes, and Ben Story.
Calvin Alumbaugh answered 28 questions correctly.
The team will compete in a science meet at Thomas Jefferson Nov. 17.
