Kevin, as a sophomore, can now participate in the high school’s quiz bowl team. Teams are groups of four, he’s not the top 4 but is generally considered the first alternate.
So, he missed the competition that gets you on the local PBS station (Okemos finished third, top two get 5K scholarships to MSU). But the winter quiz bowl season has just begun…..Kevin led one JV team (just two of them actually) and they beat the foursomes from three other schools pretty soundly last week.
These pictures are from last fall at a meet at Holt…..
Kevin is competing with the varsity team here……
Kevin says he’s weak on the science questions (that’s ok, the other two boys on the team are very strong there). Geography? they all just turn to Kevin to see what the answer is….
There are a few more meets this winter before the season ‘ends’…..I think our JV team would beat most of the local varsity teams, so, we’ll see how the rest of the year goes
Deep in thought, or daydreaming?
