Area Schools To Compete In JH, HS Quiz Bowls Next Week

All of the Antelope County schools are set to compete in junior high and high school quiz bowls in O'Neill next week. 

The 2018 ESU 8 Quiz Bowls have been scheduled on back-to-back days this year, instead of a week apart, due to the change in venue. The Grade 9-12 Quiz Bowl will be held on Tuesday, March 6 and the Grade 6-8 Quiz Bowl will be held on Wednesday, March 7.

Both quiz bowls will be organized in much the same manner as previous years and will be double-elimination. However, they will be hosted at the NECC Extended Campus in O’Neill due to the renovation underway at the the ESU 8 Main Office building in Neligh.

Each competition will start at 9 a.m. with sign-in starting at 8:30 a.m. There will be an hour break about noon for lunch, and then the competition will resume with trophies and medals being awarded about 2:30 p.m.
