Cistercian’s Middle School Quiz Bowl team traveled to Chicago for the National Quiz Bowl Championship. The trip coincided with Mother’s Day, and we’re grateful to the mothers who made the journey with them.
Dressed in coats and ties, one opponent whispered, “We’re in trouble. They look well prepared.” And they were.
In one match, a student on the opposing team tried to buzz in, but his buzzer failed. Our player’s buzzer worked. Unprompted, our boys spoke up. They had seen the other student attempt to buzz first.
After the match, the opposing coach praised our students’ honesty. Later, a tournament staffer pulled Dr. Mindle aside to say word was spreading about our boys’ integrity and character.
Cistercian finished tied for 13 out of 160 teams. Congratulations to the team and to Dr. Mindle.
