The Eads High School Knowledge Bowl team brought home the traveling trophy from the Lamar Community College meet for the first time since the trophy was initiated in 1982. “A” team members Chandni Merchant, Tyler Fox, Charlie Philpy and Cardon Brandt held off a comeback attempt by the Lamar team in the final round to win the meet. Lamar closed to within a few points, but the Eads team rattled off five consecutive correct answers and stopped Lamar’s run.
Eads had enough team members to field two “B” teams at the LCC meet. The members of one team were Cory Adamson, Doug Weirich, Jennifer Negley, Remington Brandt, and Jake Fox . The other team consisted of Lisa Miller, Tara Spady, Levi Hallman and Bailey King. The two teams were very evenly matched and wound up in a tie for fourth place in the “B” team competition.
