Our Alcona Knowledge Bowl team has been competing hard in their last three matches. On February 11, we secured a hard-fought victory against Au Gres with a score of 70-65. Today we faced a doubleheader, starting with a win of 190-40 over Standish, followed by a narrow 150-145 loss to Hale.
Knowledge Bowl is a fast-paced academic competition, similar to a high school version of Jeopardy! but played as a team. Our team members—Twyla Barton (9), Brandon Stanley (10), Leigha Belanger (10), Emma Schroeder-Captain (11), Ella Gehring (11), Max Eby (11), Isabella Laird (12), and Lee Kozlow (12)—have shown incredible teamwork and quick thinking. A special thank you to our coaches, Mr. Brunger and Ms. Cordes, for their guidance and support. Great job, KB Team!
