On February 15, CHS’s Quiz Bowl Team met for the first time in the 2025 school year. The main objective of the meeting was to introduce returning members to new members and to go over strategies for upcoming tournaments.
The members and their coaches were very confident with the state of the team due to the variety of topics they could cover. Coach Sarah Lee was sure that the team was stronger than ever.
“The new members are really good in their own ways,” Lee said. “They can cover a lot more topics that we weren’t that strong at.”
The previous year’s team captain, Andrew Kenison, graduated, leaving the team in stable hands with Maddox Lane stepping up as the team’s new captain. Quiz Bowl Coach Twyla Kester believed that Lane got his chance to shine.
“Maddox is doing well as captain,” Kester said. “I think he’s the right person to lead the team.”
They intended to participate in Friends of Quiz Bowl, Southside Schools, Regionals, and State. Lane believed they had a shot at winning this year.
“I’m pretty confident in our chances,” Lane said. “I’m sure we’re going to do better at State than last year.”
