Central Greene School District’s Junior League Varsity Quiz Bowl team finished undefeated in the regular seasons and came away with another first-place finish in a double elimination tournament April 24.

The varsity team members, made up of seventh- and eighth-graders at Margaret Bell Miller Middle School, are Will Behm, Myles Cramer, Cade Rush, Cole Leathers, Matt Hawk and Emily McCarty.

The Junior Varsity team, consisting of fifth-and sixth-grade students from Waynesburg Central Elementary and Margaret Bell Miller Middle School, finished the regular season in third place. The team of Ray Behm, Mary Larkin, Luca Augustine, Rainey Block, Meghan Braun, Hayden Church, Jonah Higley and Olivia Sanvicente finished second in the tournament.

Quiz Bowl is a Jeopardy-style question and answer competition in which knowledge in literature, science, mathematics, arts, music, religion, mythology, philosophy, history, geography, general knowledge, current events, pop culture and sports is quizzed.

Students benefit by being exposed to a broad range of academic subjects, increasing memorization and study skills, developing critical and strategic thinking skills, learning teamwork and fair play, experiencing leadership and expanding capacity for responsibility.

The Quiz Bowl Academic competitions are sponsored by the Tri-County Academic League. Teams from Central Greene competed against their counterparts from Albert Gallatin, Jefferson-Morgan, Uniontown, Laurel Highlands, Brownsville, Carmichaels, West Greene, Avella and Southeastern Greene (Mapletown) school districts.
