The Subiaco Academy Junior High Quiz Bowl team captured second place in the Regional Quiz Bowl Tournament on Saturday, February 4, 2012. Subiaco lost to Berryville 270-230 in the final. Victories over Farmington and Booneville in earlier matches put the Trojan team in the final match against Berryville.
Also competing in the tournament were teams from Prairie Grove, Clarksville, and Pea Ridge.
Academy seventh-grade student Axel Ntamatungiro of Pine Bluff was named to the All-Tournament team.
The Junior High Team took on the Lavaca Golden Arrows. During the first game Adam Musgrove and Axel Ntamatungiro went back and forth answering questions. They led the team to a victory of 305 to 160. During the second match, the team came more alive with all the members jumping in to answer questions. Subiaco won the second match 335 to 85.
I am looking forward to seeing how they do next week in the regional tournament. Please come out Saturday and watch them if you have a chance. It will be going on all day Saturday in Alumni Hall.
