On Saturday, February 24, Dragons Sam McNamee (’24-Chesterfield), Timothy Porter (’24-Henrico), Yash Saxena (’24-Henrico), and Risshi Naavaal (’24-Henrico), along with Rachel Dai (’24-Henrico) and Lex Smirnow (26-Richmond), participated in the Class 3 VHSL Scholastic Bowl state championship held at Jamestown High School. Maggie Walker’s team competed against strong opponents from Rockbridge County High School in Lexington, Lafayette High School in Williamsburg, and Hidden Valley High School in Roanoke. However, our students emerged victorious with another undefeated record, securing the Class 3 state championship for the second year in a row. Congratulations to the team for their outstanding win!
These students will now be turning their attention to practicing for two Quiz Bowl national championships: the HSNCT’s National Academic Quiz Tournament (NAQT) in Atlanta, GA on May 24-26 and PACE’s National Scholastic Championship (NSC) in Reston, VA on June 8-9.
Quiz Bowl is sponsored by Adam Rotche (not pictured), Drew Austen, and Juanita Lasswell.
