Congrats to the varsity scholastic bowl team on winning the IHSA regional tournament yesterday. They beat Scales Mound and East Dubuque handily to face Pecatonica in the championship round. After Pecatonica put a scare into the Pirates by correctly answering the first two tossups, Galena pulled their act together on tossup number 4 to take the lead and never relinquish it. The final score was 360 to 220. Justin Lin and Andy Issleb were tied for high scores with eleven correctly answered tossups apiece. Galena will head to Winnebago on Saturday to compete against Winnebago, Riverdale, and Keith Country Day School in the IHSA sectional tournament. Good luck, Pirates!
