Junior High State Quiz Bowl finals

The Conway High School East 9th grade Quiz Bowl team, coached by C.H.S. East Pre-AP English teacher Paula McKee, was undefeated at the 7A Junior High State Quiz Bowl finals on Feb. 28, and claimed the first place trophy.

Their captain, Parker West, was the MVP for the tournament. The team has had a great season, placing second in the 7A regional tournament, and 1st in the Fort Smith invitational. The team members work very well together, and Mrs.
McKee is very encouraging and is great at going to bat for them when they need to challenge a decision during play.

Most of these students have played Quiz Bowl together since the 6th grade, and some even as far back as elementary, and they have a great career record:

6th grade - 2nd place in the finals
7th grade - 1st place in the finals
8th grade - 2nd place in the finals
9th grade - 1st place in the finals

Team members are:

Jolyon Larson, Devon Conrad, Eileen Ablondi, Vincent SenCair, Parker West, and coach Paula McKee.
