Congratulations on an incredible achievement!
The High School Quiz Bowl team won their way out of the loser's bracket (8 matches in a row) to be crowned ESU 7 District Champs. The team had to win two games against East Butler (team that put them in the losers bracket) in order to take 1st place. The team will go to Hastings on April 20th to compete in the state competition.
