My son's Scholarship Challenge team won the final round today (he's the second from right)! Their record is better than almost all of their school's sports teams....and now that I think about it, since they never lost a single round, it's the best record of all their school's teams this year.Scholarship Challenge is a 24-school academic competition that's been around in the northern PA and southern NY area for about 30 years. It's similar to the "It's Academic"- and "Quiz Bowl"-type competitions. Wellsboro has never won; all three of the other schools in today's finals had won at least once. Today's first round score -- 220-50 and second round -- 200-10.
Congratulations to Wes, Ryan, Ean, Nick, and Andy!
The team will be representing a four-county area at the Pennsylvania State Academic Competition in Harrisburg in early May. We're confident they'll go all the way, perhaps even to a national championship (a mother can hope, can't she?).

Congratulations to Nick and the team! I know that you are very proud, and have every reason to be. Keep us informed how the next round goes...in the meantime I will be cheering for them!
I'm glad to see that the Southern Tier of NY does something like this. When I was in high school, we has "Scholastic Bowl" and placed teams to WXXI (Rochester) "Brainstormers"
wow. this is terrific news. Congrats to all of them.
Congratulations!!! How awesome!
Congratulations!!! I am familiar with the competition as I live in the the area and they compete against some big schools so it is quite the honor to win! Good Luck on the state level!
Sounds like a pretty cool accomplishment to me, Anya. Congrats to the team members!
Oh my, and isn't Nick's mother proud? Her heart is swelled!
