Wednesday 4/10/24 Iowa Knowledge Bowl Junior High Competition

Junior high students from across the region gathered in a spirit of camaraderie and competition, ready to put their knowledge to the test.

The 8th-grade Division was a thrilling display of skill and determination, as the top seven teams fought fiercely for just three spots, separated by only a couple of points. The margin between success and defeat was razor-thin, keeping both participants and spectators on the edge of their seats until the very last question. Every point mattered, and every team pushed themselves to their limits in pursuit of victory. The extremely close scores for the top 7 teams during the 8 rounds of head to head competition broke down as follows:
Southview - 108, Northview A - 92, Prairieview A - 91, Timberline B - 88, North Polk A - 87, Pella - 86, Prairieview B -83.

In the end, the outcome hinged on split-second decisions and lightning-fast reflexes, showcasing the remarkable talent and competitive spirit of these young scholars. The top three teams continued their battle in the finals. Northview edged out Southview by one point with a score of 14 to 13 with Prairie View close behind wrapping up third place.

The 7th-grade Knowledge Bowl finals unfolded in a dramatic showdown, with Prairie Ridge A emerging as the victor by a narrow margin of 14 points, followed closely by North Polk with 13 points and Parkview with 12 points. This was a nail biter all the way to the end!

Congratulations to all the teams for their outstanding performances in the Iowa Knowledge Bowl Junior High finals. Looking forward to next year!

Knowledge is Power!!!
