The A team, led by captain Andrew Cavignac alongside Zane Madi, Conlan Pausina, and Wade Rogers, blitzed through the competition, including a particularly sweet victory over Catholic by a score of 385 to 205. In the playoff rounds, the team handed Caddo Magnet’s A team their first in-state loss of the year by a score of 355 to 275 to finish undefeated and win the tournament. Individually, Zane Madi scored the second-most points of the tournament, and Ken Nguyen placed 4th. Congratulations, Quiz Bowl.
