HUTCHINSON, Kan. — This Saturday is the state scholar's bowl competition and Central Christian School is one of many area schools competing.
"It's head to head competition and there will be sixteen questions in a round," said Rochelle White, coach at CCS. "There are questions from foreign language, language arts, science and health, social science, math, fine arts and then a current event question. They get 10 points for each question right they buzz in and have to beat the other team in and hopefully answer correctly."
White says that the central part of the state has a lot of great scholars bowl teams.
"Our area schools really excel at scholars bowl," White said. "Inman has qualified for state, Elyria Christian, Pretty Prairie, Hutch High, Pratt, Buhler, McPherson, Kingman, Cunningham, all of those schools are going to state, so I think Reno County and the surrounding area is showing up in a big way."
Just like many other KSHSAA activities, the state competitions are separated by school size. CCS is competing in 1A Division II at Chase.
"Most of our students are pretty broad and can answer well in lots of categories," White said. "We do have some students who are better at math, some that excel at fine arts, but a lot of our kids can answer questions across the board."
The team members who will compete at state for CCS are Josh Miller, Ethan Glover, Nathan Reed, Justice Huff, Morgan Erwiller and David Wise.
