GOOD HOPE – The Good Hope Scholar’s Bowl team made a name for itself in the Scholar’s Bowl community recently when they finished in a five-way tie for 11th in the nation at the SSNCT National Quiz Bowl (Scholar's Bowl) National Championship.
Good Hope was up against some stiff competition as the top 80 small schools (defined as under 500 students in grades 10 through 12) in the country competed against each other. Being ranked 11th out of 80 is a tremendous accomplishment.
“I am very proud of our scholar’s bowl team for finishing 11th out of 80 teams in our national tournament in Chicago, Illinois,” said David Hulsey, Scholar’s Bowl coach. “We placed second in our state tournament and received a national trophy for our top 12 national finish. Great job Chandler West, Bailey Brand, Nick Martin, Pao Vaughn, Noah Tillman, Jacob Smith and Madison Lowery! Also, congratulations to Chandler West for finishing 12th in the nation individually. This is a great group of kids to work with. I am very proud of these guys. Go Raiders!”
