October 17th, a Saturday morning, started out early for Mrs. Stock, Sebastian N, Cade H, Stephen S, and myself, Abbie W as we took off for the Bishop Garrigan High School Quiz Bowl in Algona. The day started out like any normal quiz bowl would. There were four rounds of tough questions before lunch.
The first round went great as we beat the other team by 110 points at 10 points per question. The second, third, and fourth rounds were a little closer, but we still came out on top in first place. We had won all four-morning rounds, and when we came back from lunch, we found that we had made it to the fifth round. Not only that, but we were the second top competitor right underneath Algona 1. You would never expect them to be, but the 5th and 6th rounds were very intense. But the last round was the most intense as were competing for 1st place.
The day ended with Algona 1 beating us and taking 1st and leaving 2nd place for us, but that was just fine considering there were 54 teams competing!
