Following Baxter, the team made up of Brock Burnick, Maria Wilson, Tyler Egbert, and Zane Batson placed second at the Northeast tournament Dec. 5.
At the next tournament in Pittsburg on Jan. 14, Zane Batson, Zack Bowen, Brock Burnick, Austin Egbert, and Tyler Egbert placed first for Girard’s second win of the season.
Saturday, Jan. 16, the team traveled to Iola and earned first place once again. Brock Burnick, Tyler Egbert, Chris Reynolds, and Maria Wilson participated on that team.
At the CNC League tournament at Southeast on Jan. 22, the team consisting of Zane Batson, Brock Burnick, Tyler Egbert, Austin Price, and Maria Wilson earned first place, giving Girard its fourth consecutive win.
Most recently, Zane Batson, Cody Bradshaw, Brock Burnick, Chris Patterson, and Maria Wilson competed at Fort Scott on Monday, Jan. 25, earning GHS its fifth first-place title.
“The season has been pretty wonderful. The students work really well together and great as a team. It’s really been a great season!” said cosponsor Carolyn Allmond.
Regarding all of the victories, cosponsor Angela Kunshek said, “Mrs. Allmond and I have been so thrilled with the team’s performance this season. Individually, these players have their own strengths and expertise. When they come together as a team, they are capable of great success. Of course, in a Scholars Bowl meet many factors come into play, so it doesn’t hurt to have luck on our side!”
Girard will host the Class 4A Regional Scholars Bowl on Feb. 4, and the top three teams there will qualify for the Class 4A State Scholars Bowl in Topeka Feb. 13.
