For many students all around the world, being a part of a team is an important aspect of a successful high school experience. But when people think of these teams, the first things that come to mind are usually sports or fine arts. For some of the students at Yutan, however, this team looks a little more like being in the classroom, and that team is quiz bowl.

Quiz bowl is a battle of the brains, bringing together rapid-fire questions and quick thinking in a competition setting. Though this may not sound that interesting, for many people, including senior Bryce Kolc, there are many different aspects of quiz bowl that have kept him coming back each year.

Along with gaining new knowledge and spending time with peers, head coach Nealy Freeman believes that participating in quiz bowl offers students lots of opportunities to develop important life skills as well.

Using all of the knowledge and character-building qualities they gain, the quiz bowl students put their skills to the test at competitions. The number of teams and questions can vary from place to place, but for the Yutan team, there were three competitions this season, one of which was the district competition, where the team placed third and narrowly missed qualifying for state.
