Congratulations to the Scholastic Bowl team on winning their IHSA regional tournament yesterday. In round one, the Pirates recorded their highest score in recent memory, trouncing Warren 610 to 110. In round 2, River Ridge put up a slightly better fight, but Galena won handily, 380-160. Justin Lin got the team off to a good start in round 3 with a super-quick correct response to the first tossup question, but Le-Win bounced back on question 2, and correctly answered 8 of the next 10 tossups. Le-Win held the lead through tossup number 21. But your Galena Pirates stayed within reach the entire time, pulled ahead on tossup 22, and maintained the lead through the final question, number 24, to win the regional championship by a score of 400 to 340. Justin had the high score for the Pirates with 13 correct tossups, followed closely by Lex Abt with 12. Galena will travel to the sectional tournament at Riverdale High School in Port Byron on Saturday, where they will compete in a round robin with Riverdale, Stockton, and Winnebago.
There will be no Spanish club meeting during homeroom today.
