2014 ACADEMIC BOWL!!
The 2014 Charlo Academic Bowl season was a very fun and a great learning experience. Our team consisted of Taylor Olsen, Allie Delaney, Kaitlin Cox, Shad Anderson, Toby Odom, Vanessa Kent, Sabin Perry, Brooklyn Foust, Brady Fryberger, Bailey Weible, Aislynn Love, and Wills DeGrandpre. The four teams in the competition were Charlo, Mission, Polson, and Ronan. There were four competitions, each time located at one of the team's schools. At each meet, first the teams would come in, eat some snacks, and get settled in. After that, we would be welcomed by the hosting school. Then we would take written tests as a team at a specific table and take tests in math, English, science, history, and logic. Personally, logic is the hardest at least in my opinion. When we finished the written tests, which was timed for about an hour and a half, they would be scored and out on a bulletin board for everyone to view. Then, the oral rounds came where two teams would sit at opposite tables. Each member of each team would have handheld buzzers, and an announcer would ask random questions for the teams to compete by answering the quickest. There are six oral rounds where each team would have a chance to compete against every team. After the third round we would have a lunch break and the hosting school would feed each of the four academic bowl teams. After we finish each oral round we add up the scores and we had a winner at each meet. After the four meets we added up our scores throughout the whole season. In the end, Polson won, Mission got second, and Charlo (us) got third by about twenty points which was very close, and then Ronan got last. We have been improving so we had a successful season!!!! :)
