MW Quiz Bowl team competes at the VCU Season Finale Tournament and brings back the top prize

Maggie Walker Quiz Bowl sent three teams to compete in the VCU Season Finale tournament this Saturday and brought home two trophies! Congratulations to Vien Nguyen (’23-Henrico), Sam McNamee (’24-Chesterfield), Risshi Naavaal (’24-Henrico), and Timothy Porter (’24-Henrico) for pulling out a nail-biting victory over Blacksburg High School to win the entire tournament!   

We also had several top individual scorers – Sam McNamee was recognized with a book award as the 5th overall individual scorer averaging 41.8 points per game and Stella Broome (’23-Henrico) as the 2nd overall individual scorer with an average 45.8 points per game.  Wish the team luck as they head to Nationals in Atlanta over Memorial Day Weekend! 

If you want to join our winning legacy, it’s not too late!  We hold open practices every day during lunch in room 316, come to join us! 

Quiz Bowl is sponsored by Mr. Adam Rotche and Ms. Juanita Lasswell.
