CROOKSTON HIGH SCHOOL GIVE SEND OFF TO STATE-BOUND KNOWLEDGE BOWL TEAM

The Crookston High School Knowledge Bowl team received a spirited send-off this morning from the school before heading to the State Knowledge Bowl competition at Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd today and tomorrow. The five students were Ainsley Boucher, Maddie Harbott, Nathan Johanneck, Tatum Lubinski, Thor Harbott, and their coach Katelyn Stegman.

The send-off contained the team leading the Pirate Pep Band around the school, with students and teachers wishing them good luck on their upcoming competition. They then began their trip to Brainerd with a convoy led by Crookston Police Officer Don Rasicot and followed by a Crookston Firetruck that led them through downtown Crookston to Hwy 9.

The Knowledge Bowl team felt nervous about representing the school in a high-level competition but felt confident in their abilities to do well based on past competitions. “We’re hoping for the best, as previous meets have shown that we can perform well at this level, so we’re excited and hope to do well,” Tatum Lubinski explained. The team will face off against a few teams they have faced before, such as Bemidji, Thief River Falls, and Kittson County Central, but will also face a few new teams from across the state, such as Bertha-Hewitt, and Pine River-Backus. The competition will begin tonight, with the first part determining their ranks for Friday’s competitions. “Tonight, we have a “Written Round,” where everyone competes as their own team doing multiple-choice questions, and based on the scores, they get ranked.” Stegman explained, “Then tomorrow we start five “Oral Rounds” of 45 questions each based on every subject and depending on how we do in each round, we move up and down.”

The competition will begin tonight at Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd and continue tomorrow. Stay tuned to KROX Radio and KROXAM.com for more updates on the Knowledge Team’s results.
