More details will follow in the May Lamplighter.
We had a very exciting quiz day. Caleb Benedict took top quizzer for the day with Nick right behind. Aaron Fleming jumped from 5th to 4th place with a most excellent quiz day. We have six senior quizzers representing us at Districts May 1st. In order of their finish, they are: Nick Murgia, Sam Benedict, Caleb Benedict, Noah Schadt, Aaron Fleming, and Taylor Fleming. Please pray for them as they prepare for Districts.
February 2010 Quiz Meet
There is quite a battle going on for first place. Last month Beca Lloyd led by 10 points and now Joel Fleming has regained the lead by 10 points. That 20 point swing is just one question more answered for Joel than Beca this month. It will be interesting to see who will end up on top after our final quiz this month. Amanda Negley has moved up from fifth place into fourth place and is nipping at Chris Lloyd’s heals for third place. Four of the five to go to Districts will be from our church!
The Seniors had a very good quiz day. Going into the day Borne Supremacy’s team (Nick, Nate, Aaron) was in the lead by six points. At the end of the day, Unknown Flock of Oxen (Sam, Noah, Karyn Hope) led by six points. That wasn’t the only jostling for position that was going on. Noah Schadt had a great quiz day, tying Nick in the morning session for 1st place and then winning the top twelve quiz outright. Top five finishers were Noah Schadt, Nick Murgia, Sam Benedict, Caleb Benedict and Heidi Southwick (Syr). Noah also moved from sixth place into fourth place in the overall standings. Right now LaFayette holds the first six places. All five quizzers to represent our zone at Districts will come from our church. This is a first! We have just two quizzes left, both this month. March Madness Scramble, March 19 & 20 and our zone quiz on March 27th at Syracuse Alliaince.
January 2010 Quiz Meet
The junior quizzers had quite a quiz day. Both Beca and Chris Lloyd were on a roll with Beca earning 250 points, bringing her into first place. Chris earned 230 points bringing him up to third place. Joel Fleming had a rough first quiz but came back in the next two quizzes and ends up in 2nd place. Amanda Negley continues to hold fifth place, making four of the top five quizzers from our teams. Check the newsletter next month for more details.
Seniors had a great day, especially Nick, Sam, Caleb and Noah. Noah moved from seventh place up to sixth. He quizzed out a couple of times and ended up in third place in the Top Twelve quizzes. Nick and Sam tied for first place in the morning quizzes, and Nick edged out Sam in the Top Twelve. Caleb continues to improve each month, and holds third overall. It was a fun day, with very few errors and high scores by most teams.
December 2009 Quiz Meet
Beca and Joel both had a daily score of 260 making it a tie for the day. Amanda came in 4th for the day. Chris was in 6th and Faith had a slower day, but still encouraged her team. See the Lamplighter for information about our Christmas party.
On December 19th we had a Zone Meet at our church. We had Amherst Nazarene quizzers visiting with us again. To make it more fun for our visitors we scrambled up all the teams and had a fun time quizzing with new teammates. Our top five for the day were Nick Murgia, Jeremy Southwick (Syr.), Sam Braun (Amherst), Noah Schadt and Caleb Benedict.
November 2009 Quiz Meet
Our November quiz, on the 21st, was held here at LaFayette Alliance. Wow! What a quiz. Joel ran away with 1st. He memorized all the material and it showed. He quizzed out very early in all quizzes. Amanda Negley showed how well she studied and tied Beca Lloyd for 2nd of the day bringing her into 5th place in her personal stats. Beca is close behind Joel in 2nd place. With so many well versed quizzers, it is sometimes hard for newer quizzers to get a jump; but Chris was able to get at least one in every quiz. Faith is still mastering the jump but correctly answered her bonus question which helped her team.
Our third quiz was held November 21st. Our top quizzers worked hard to maintain their spots, but Caleb Benedict had a stellar day and moved up to 5th place overall and took 1st place in our top 15 quizzes. Nick Murgia continues to maintain 1st place overall.
October 2009 Quiz Meet
Our October quiz, on the 24th, was held at Syracuse Alliance. We had an extra quizzer who joined Joel and Amanda’s team giving them an equal number of quizzers as the rest of the teams. Their team took 1st place with Joel and Amanda keeping their present personal stat spots of 1st and 6th respectively. Our other team, “God’s Colorful Creation”, moved into 2nd with Beca keeping her 2nd place status. Chris moved into 4th and Faith stayed in 7th. Over all we had a lot of fun.
Our second quiz meet was held the end of October. We had two visiting teams competing with us from Amherst and Lowville. They enjoyed it so much they are coming back for our December quiz. They said that the level of competition they experienced with us is higher than at any other quiz meet they’ve competed in. We were very honored.
