Proud update from our Scholar Bowl team: strong performances across conference and district competition this spring.
At the March 23 conference in Glasgow, team members Matthew Utterback, Andrew Poindexter, Natali Sommer, and Hailey Schmidt competed in seven matches; Matthew earned 3rd-highest individual scorer. At districts on April 18 in St. Elizabeth, Matthew Utterback, Andrew Poindexter, Sophie Fennewald, Gabby Knipfel, Natali Sommer, and Alex Poindexter advanced to the finals, ultimately getting knocked out by a highly experienced opponent (the previous year’s Class 2 state champion). Matthew was named to the All-District team and placed 2nd among individual scorers. Congratulations all!
