Writer & Photographer - Miranda Little This last Thursday, Le Roy’s Scholastic Bowl team had a match against Flanagan High School. This could possibly be the final match for the team if they do not qualify for Regionals, so the stakes were high. The match was held virtually over Zoom due to COVID-19, but everything went smoothly. For this match, Jacob Gaul was chosen as the team’s captain. This meant that Jacob was in charge of leading the team through any and all bonus questions they received. The position of captain is switched for every game between Jacob Gaul and Mary Thayn, so both have had equal amounts of leadership. Jacob lead his team well and made sure to give everyone a chance to give their thoughts and ideas. The beginning of the match went extremely well for Le Roy’s team, and they had a 30 point lead at 90 - 60 by halfway through the game. Questions involving book authors, historical events, geography, and others did not phase the team. Flanagan took the lead in points and by ¾ of the way through the game, the score being 140 - 120 with Flanagan winning. While Le Roy did try their best to come back, Flanagan won at 160 -140, which is an extremely close game that not many matches have. Despite losing the match, Le Roy was excited to have done their final scrimmage. Now the team waits for results to see if they will be in regionals. Check back soon to learn more and see what happens!
