Two months of regular district quizzes |
||||
|
We had a well-attended quiz in the north country at Northern Point church in Kelliher; 24 quizzers, on six teams! In October, we met in Hewitt, where there is a new quizzer and program this year. Hooray! Here's our current working schedule for quiz meets. |

Matthew Eastwood takes FIRST PLACE at MAX Regional Quiz — Updated |
||||
|
For possibly the first time ever (certainly as far back as anyone can remember), Minnesota can claim a top honor from the North Central Regional Bible Quizzing competition. Matt Eastwood was the Number One quizzer in the entire region in individual competion! Way to go, Matt! Matt, whose goal all season was to make the regional team (something else no one from Minnesota has done in living memory), finished 6th in the team selection competition. This made him the captain of the regional B team, and entitled him to represent the region at the Q2008 international competition in Nampa, Idaho, this past summer. Matt finished 3rd in the "district experienced" classification, as did his North Central B team in the overall competition! We are all extremely proud of Matthew, and stand in awe of his accomplishment! |
