The JV Masterminds continued their winning streak by taking their matches against Berne-Knox-Westerlo 255 to 10 and Tamarac 140 to 110. Congratulations to Ray Erikson, Elsie Corbett, Ashleigh Smerdon, Danny Rivera, Connor Sniger and Riley Smith on a job well done and putting Berlin JV at the top of the leaderboard!”

Berlin Middle/High School’s Junior Varsity team is coached by Ms. Jennifer Overocker and the Varsity Masterminds team is coached by Mr. Matthew Christian. 

This extracurricular quiz bowl competition is an opportunity for students to represent their school in an interscholastic setting. 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 are online and the Berlin Masterminds are proving that whether in-person or virtually they are a force in their league. This is the first time the Mountaineers have been in the playoffs since 2017! 

BCSD is very proud of your accomplishments and we are rooting for you Mountaineer Masterminds!
