A recap of match #1 vs. Bishop Moore and First Academy . . .
On September 24th, your Quizzly Bears traveled to Bishop Moore in a battle of Catholic schools as we faced the host school as well as First Academy. This year's squad is young and hungry but we are learning the ropes as we go. College visits and extracurricular conflicts led to a skeleton crew of four making the trek, but even outnumbered we showed that we can hang with the private schools. The first match was a trial by fire, as First Academy jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, winning 155-105. The second match was much more thrilling. The home squad jumped out to an early lead only to lose buzzer control in the second half and allow our squad to turn a 55 point deficit into only 15. A strong flurry of questions at the end from our own "Young Sheldon," Conor O'Malley, allowed us to climb within a single question. But alas, it was not meant to be as we got tripped up by everyone's favorite summer reading assignment, the Communist Manifesto. We ended up falling in a heartbreaker, losing by a single question and a final score of 110-105. A single tear was shed and preparation began for next week.
Our MVP of the match was the "Walking Encyclopedia," Ajay Narain, who had to temporarily step into the captain role and contributed 20 points of positive gain as well as coordinating both matches and teaching the new players the ropes.
Next week will be tough as we have two of last year's powerhouse playoff squads, Winter Park and Timber Creek, coming to visit us for our first of two home matches. Hopefully the home cooking will help us pull of at least one upset and secure our first victory of the year.
The following students made the trip to Bishop Moore last Monday. Be sure to congratulate their effort if you see them.
* Ajay Narain - filling in as team captain
* Conor O'Malley
* Landon "the Man-don" Nayab
* Mitchell "Onomatopoeia" Spector
