On Thursday, May 29th, the Wayne Valley Quiz Bowl team and the Faculty of Wayne Valley partook in the 5th annual “Battle of the Brains.” The event included a three-block game of Jeopardy, centered around various topics. Each block featured a new round of categories and questions. The categories ran the gamut with questions from academics to pop culture; some of this year’s categories included: “The Red Scare,” “Physics,” “Star Wars Quotable Quotes,” “Current Events,” and “Hollywood Legends.” Quiz Bowl advisors, Mrs. Hannon and Mrs. Celusniak hosted the game and served as announcers and scorekeepers. Cheers, laughs, and even gasps could be heard from the auditorium as each side took their turn answering a question. The Quiz Bowl team made quite an effort, and it almost looked like a victory for them, as they led by fifty points leading into the third round. However, the faculty retained their winning streak, pulling out a close contest. Dr, White, who has been a participant in the tournament the last five years said, “I enjoyed the questions and the camaraderie.” Another Quiz Bowl vs. Faculty competition is in the record books, and now we can look forward to next year’s contest.
