It's hard to put into words how proud I am of this sweet girl! She was hand picked to represent PSE on the Wednesday quiz bowl team. I remember her coming home a few months ago complaining about how she really didn't want to do it . . . and how she'd have to go in car pool once a week to be on time to practice. I told her that it was an honor to be chosen and she would need to stick this out for the team.
Fast forward a few months and last week they had the southeast competition. She felt pretty good about their performance. It's 100 questions that the team works together to answer. More points are scored for faster answers. She came home saying her team scored 1233 points, and according to the coach anything over 1200 usually ranks. We waited a long weekend to go back to school Tuesday and find out her team was FIRST place in the entire southeast of the country! The Tuesday team came in 7th, which is pretty awesome for one school to rank twice in the top 10. Way to go girl!!!
