BCS Masterminds Outthink The Competition
Submitted by Rachel Turetsky
The Berlin Central School Varsity and JV Masterminds teams won all of their matches Friday, November 20.
The MasterMind Varsity team of Jordanne Brazie, Holly Hermann, Gavin Bink, Bridget Hermann and Austin Meyette worked to overtake Averill Park 195 to 185 and Hoosick Falls 120 to 70.
The Berlin JV team of Ray Ericson, Elsie Corbett, Connor Sniger, Ashleigh Smerdon, Riley Smith and Danny Riveria won both of their matches against Berne-Knox-Westerlo 210 to 20 and Hoosick Falls 170 to 10.
Berlin Middle/High School fields a Modified, Junior Varsity and Varsity MasterMinds team each year as an extracurricular opportunity for students to represent the school in interscholastic competition.
The quiz bowl competition is for students who enjoy games like Jeopardy and Trivial Pursuit. The quiz questions range in topic from art, biology, chemistry, current events, geography, history, literature, music, political science, pop culture, religion and sports.
This year the meets take place virtually but the Berlin MasterMinds are not letting that slow them down.
