Our first Scholars Bowl Meet was on Tuesday and I was on the team to compete in it! I was really excited and nervous. When we got on the bus Amala and I did some would you rather questions to pass the time. When we got to Hillsboro, both the 7th grade and 8th grade teams filed into what I think was the lunchroom. Then, we all got cookies even if some of us weren't competing.
The first team we went against was Haven. They only had 2 people on their team, while we had five. The score was 10 to 80. We won the first round and went to a different room to compete against Halstead. At first, I thought we had a chance of losing because Halstead had a pretty good team, but they were nothing compared to Smokey Valley. Luckily, we won against Halstead and Smokey Valley and had our break.
During the break, we found out that we got into the semifinals and were competing with Smokey Valley for first place. Whoever got 2 out of 3 rounds was the winner. The first round was close, we won by five. The second round was also close, we lost by five. By this point I was nervous that we would lose. The last round would determine who would win first place. We had a rocky start because of an interruption we started out with -5, but then we made our come back. It was 20-90! We won in a landslide. My first Scholars Bowl Meet was really fun and I hope I can compete in the next one.
