USN Middle School students challenged themselves by playing against older players last weekend.
By Richard Rosenthal, MS Latin Teacher & Quiz Bowl Coach
Six members of the Middle School Quiz Bowl team competed in USN’s Snowball Fight on Saturday, February 13 before the snow fell. The tournament attracted some excellent high school teams, including USN’s High School teams.
Basil Broemel '28, Elliot George '29, Matthew Golann '29, Liam Mooney '28, Garrett Northwall '28, and Annie Williamson '28 joined the older players to challenge themselves. They played on two teams, each winning two matches against stiff competition. Individually, Liam and Basil were the 8th and 19th, respectively, highest scorers.
The team would like to thank the USN High School team for inviting them to this special opportunity.
Students were treated to a visit from Maria Zoccola, our 2025-2026 Author in Residence. Zoccola is a bestselling poet whose most recent collection is "Helen of Troy,1993."
Rodney Crowell, two-time Grammy winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member, will perform a full set on Saturday, April 11, for Music Night, our annual adult-only concert in Durnan Auditorium. Tickets are available now for this fundraiser, which supports the arts and athletics at USN.
