Scholars Bowl
Are you good at trivia? Do you know a little bit about a lot of things, or have one subject you know way too much about? Scholars Bowl wants you! Last year, our team brought home the Tri-Valley League Championship, and this year, we’re looking for new and returning players to help us defend the title. Scholars Bowl covers everything from history, science, literature, and mathematics to sports, music, popular culture, current events, and plenty of random knowledge in between. You don’t have to be an expert, and you don’t need any previous experience. If you enjoy learning, competing, and being part of a team, come give Scholars Bowl a try. If you think you might be interested or have any questions, please go and talk with Mr. Adelson. Help us defend our Tri-Valley League title and bring another trophy home to Bluestem!
