8th Grade Quiz Bowl Champions
With
a timely press of the buzzer, the 8th Grade Junior High Quiz Bowl team pulled
ahead to win the Thayer Central JH Quiz Bowl on February 22, 2016. This was
their second (back-to-back) win as they were also champions the same Quiz Bowl
in 2015.
Quiz
bowls challenge students to think fast, and share their archived knowledge of
math, science, history, geography literature, English grammar, and current
events. This can be frustrating, as well as rewarding. After a question is
read, each team has 10 seconds to “buzz in” and give the correct answer. If the
answer is wrong, the opposing team will have another 10 seconds to
answer. The frustration of buzzing in too late, or giving the wrong
answer, is often forgotten in the thrill of answering ahead of the opposing
team – especially when both teams are tied.
