Both Odessa and Harrington High’s Knowledge Bowl teams qualifed at Regionals February 24 at Whitworth University to move on to statewide competition to be held March 17 at Spokane Falls Community College.
Finishing first in the 1B division was Wilbur with 102 points, Valley Christian second with 95 points, Odessa third with 93 points, ACH fourth with 81 points, Garfield-Palouse fifth and Harrington sixth.
Competitors were presented oral and written questions drawn from the state’s secondary curriculum in math, science, history, language, literature, music and geography. Current events and topics of general interest also were included in the five-round competition.
To compete at state, each team had to first qualify in a regional competition sponsored by NEWESD 101 and hosted by Whitworth University’s Center for Gifted Education and Professional Development. The regional event drew 59 teams from 38 districts.
