Quiz Team defeats Moeller
Yesterday afternoon, the St. X Quiz Team played Moeller on all three levels.
For years, Moeller has been our team’s chief opponent and rival. Because of this rivalry, room HP302 saw record turnout from both sides. In addition, a dean and a vice principal even showed up, a first for the moderator.
Unlike most “sports”, Academic Team matches do not see much cheering in any form. But the Moeller fans did have one large sign: “Let’s go Moeller!”
- The Varsity team defeated Moeller 50–44. Both sides gained ten points in the Alphabet Round.
- The 1st Reserve team beat Moeller 64–44. Both sides gained 12 points during the Alphabet Round. I played in the Lightening Round for this match. I answered two questions, one of which was correct: “Louisiana”. I especially liked one of the Math Round questions, a word problem, involving a character named Mathilda. Legendary Japan-whiz James Ficker (aka “Godzilla”) added three points to our score, correctly expanding the acronym HEW.
- I could not stay to see the 2nd Reserve match, but I will update as soon as I discover the score.
This was definitely one of the best Quiz Team matches I have ever participated in. (The Elder match and a couple matches at the Northmont, OH tournament are also favorites of mine.)

Great job on the acedemic team Minh! I see good things in your future. LOL. I know Moe guys can be so jerky and testosterone hyped. I hate that fact, cause I'm just not like that. So anyway, things are going good on this end, keep in touch!
