HS quiz bowl opens season with 4th place finish
University School of Nashville sent two teams to Cullman, Alabama for the quiz bowl team's first competition of the school year, and both groups reached the playoffs.
By Wilson Hubbell, HS Science Teacher & Quiz Bowl Coach
Saturday, September 17, the High School quiz bowl team returned to action at the West Point High School Invitational in Cullman, Alabama. The squad had prepared over the summer, and despite both teams fielding only three players instead of the standard four, they came out firing on all cylinders.
The A Team of Frederick Rudolph '23, Daniel Guo '25, and Rohan Ramachandran '25 rolled through the preliminaries 5-1, qualifying for the playoffs and then advancing to the semifinals. A talented Hoover High School (Cullman, Ala.) team knocked them out, but USN finished fourth.
The B Team of Isaac Spiller '24, Evan Giles '26, and Penelope Graham '25 made the playoffs too, which made the tournament the first invitational in eight years that two USN teams have qualified for playoff rounds. The B Team got knocked out in the quarterfinals.
Additionally, Isaac placed fifth in individual scoring, and Rohan placed ninth. The season will continue in Tusculum, Tenn. on September 24; please congratulate these Tigers.
