This last Tuesday on February 23rd, Le Roy High School’s Scholastic Bowl team faced off against Lexington High School in a difficult trivia scrimmage. Due to COVID-19’s impact on many of Le Roy’s sports teams, this match was held virtually over Zoom. Despite this, Le Roy’s team has made the best of this situation and still had a blast. The match started out with Mary Thayn who was chosen as the team’s captain for the meet. The position of captain is usually switched back and forth between senior teammates depending on who is available. Mary was in charge of making final decisions on answers for bonus questions, which can be quite stressful; however, Mary was able to take the pressure and performed excellently. Throughout the match, both teams are given questions ranging in difficulty that test their knowledge on certain subjects. Some questions will be about math, some English, and others pop culture. One question that stuck with the team was the history of the Spider-Man movies that the Lexington team had as bonus questions. Throughout the beginning of the match, Le Roy and Lexington were neck-and-neck, having an even number of points on either side. Near the end of the first half, Le Roy took the lead in points but quickly fell behind. Unable to catch up, Le Roy lost the match 240 - 110. While Le Roy did lose, they were still excited to learn a lot of new facts and talk to the other team. This match comes as the second-to-last that the team will have before regionals. If the team scores high enough, they will be placed in the top ten teams. Check back soon to hear more about their placement!
