Notes on Quiz Bowl
Oct. 8th, 2004 08:47 pmSo today *finally* saw the first Quiz Bowl practice. I wasn't there after school, of course, as I never am, but I can say what I did see...
Andrew scared me for a bit when he told me *none* of last year's freshmen were doing QB. Then he explained he just meant they weren't coming to *practice*. OK.
We do seem to have gotten more people, somehow; we did have enough people for a game, specifically, me, Andrew, and some boy I didn't recognize vs Michelle Ton and 3 girls I didn't recognize. Who lost horribly, by the way. :D (None of them knew what book Paul Atreides was from! How...?)
Oh, and Chris *is* doing QB, so that's good. I forgot to remind Vlad about it. Regardless, Mr. Sayres is finally going to send out the general advertisement now anyway.
Now who in space will our A team be this year? Given what I currently know, I'm thinking me, Chris, and 2 of the sophomores, though which 2 I don't know. Ideas? (Of course, in all probability, Pinyan and Jess are the only experienced QBers from our school reading this thing, and of course they wouldn't know the sophomores or the new people, which our team is going to have to mainly consist of, seeing as how I kind of doubt we're going to have James and Andrew on the A team...)
