RR#1 Results

Camas High School Knowledge Bowl braved the elements last night and made the long trek through the mean streets of Camas all the way over to Washougal High School for our first meet of the season. In attendance were the normal cast of characters/schools:  Columbia Adventist Academy, Washougal, White Salmon, Union, and Stevenson. In sum, things went very well and the kids did us proud once again.

In a typical League meet this year, 15 varsity and 15 JV teams compete.  That’s 30 teams competing in 10 rooms. Because of our incredibly high participation in this activity (58 on the roster), we’ve been allotted 5 varsity and 5 JV teams, 10 out of the 30 teams in the League.  Wow!  Here’s how they finished:

• Varsity – 2nd , 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th out of 15.
  • The 2nd place Varsity #1 team actually tied for 1st with Union on total points, but were 2nd according to the tie breaker based on written round score. This team is made up of Monica C., Daniel F., Abbi J., Jesse L., and Noah T.  They amassed an impressive 108 points!  The next closest varsity was 15 points behind them.
  • By the way, Varsity 1 had, from what I know and can recall, the highest total score in an oral round that I’ve ever seen, scoring 37 points! Unheard of.
• JV – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th out of 15. They currently hold the first 5 places in the region out of 39 total JV teams in our region.
  • For JV, the winners were, very notably, a team made up entirely of freshmen. JV#3 is Ali B., Alex G., Tyler G., Akash P., Ben S., and George W. They showed great grit and determination to best the rest of the field.

A very good start, indeed, Camas!  Congratulations.  I’ve pasted the meet scores in below for your reference if you wanted to see the specifics.  I’m very proud of all them.  Thanks for your continued support.

We will be hosting the next meet on December 6, 2017, at Camas High School. Please visit this link for a complete listing of this year’s competition dates, including the postseason: Gorge League Schedule
