Results:

  • Last Saturday, the Varsity and JV Quiz Bowl teams competed in the Louisiana Quiz Bowl Association Fall Tournament against teams from around the country. The JV team, captained by Christian Thomas along with James Redmann, Erich Smith, and Aidan Wang, had a promising season debut, defeating several strong Varsity teams. The Varsity B team of captain Ken Nguyen, Ellis Beasley, Dominic Gennaro, and Derek Tsang had some dominant wins alongside some razor-thin losses to finish in the top half of teams. The Varsity A team, led by captain Zane Madi, Andrew Cavignac, Conlan Pausina, and Wade Rogers, went undefeated in the morning rounds before losing a close semi-final on the last question to finish in 4th place. Zane Madi was also honored as one of the top individual scorers of the tournament. The A team’s impressive performance earned them a bid to the NAQT National Tournament in May. Congratulations, Quiz Bowl!
