GSL Knowledge Bowl team shines at Dawson-Boyd meet
Following its successes at Ortonville a week ago, the GSL Knowledge Bowl team traveled to Dawson-Boyd High School Saturday for the team’s second December meet. Most of the teams in the region were there, including ACGC, CMCS, CCS, Dawson-Boyd, GSL, Hutchinson, Lac qui Parle Valley, Lester Prairie, MACCRAY, Montevideo, Ortonville, Willmar, and Yellow Medicine East. Those 13 schools brought 16 varsity, 11 JV, and 23 junior high teams. The meet was a little bit unusual in having only three oral rounds, so overall scores are a little lower than normal.
GSL entered three teams in the varsity division. GSL’s top team, calling itself, “Van Gogh,” started in first with 44 points on the written. The team won the competition in Room No. 1 each round, with scores of 12-8-5, 22-6-5, and 14-7-6, giving them a total dominant score of 96½, 25 points ahead of Hutchinson, which earned second.
