The Arcola High School Scholastic Bowl team took home a 4th place win at the Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl on Saturday, February 22nd!
The Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl is a quiz-based competition between Illinois high school scholastic bowl teams that tests the players on a wide variety of academic subjects taught in Illinois high schools. This is an annual tournament sponsored by the Masons of Illinois and is coordinated through the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Illinois. The goal is to provide positive recognition for academic excellence.
Our team was sponsored by the Arcola Masonic Lodge #366. The students received $100 for this win, which will be used to fund a senior scholarship.
Our team is captained by Aiden Myers, a junior at Arcola High School who made the all-conference team this year as well for answering 34 tossups during the regular season.
The team is coached by Jessica Launius.
