Big night for our Scholar Bowl teams!
Our 7th Grade team earned a strong win over Cameron and showed great focus from start to finish.
Our 8th Grade team battled all the way to the final question, tying it up and forcing a “next score wins” overtime round before falling to the Dragons. What a competitive match and what heart they showed.
Way to go, Hornets! 🖤❤️
