The Lawrence County Quiz Bowl Tournament took place on Thursday at Ohio University Southern and Ironton High School had as good of a day as possible at the event.

The team went undefeated throughout the double elimination tournament, which meant, when they faced Dawson-Bryant High School in the event’s final match, they only needed to win once to become champions for the day.

In the first round of that event, Ironton amassed a lead of 32-55, answering questions from math, science, literature, current events and other topics.

They maintained that lead in the following alphabet round, with the score standing at 44-34 (both teams earned seven points in the portion). Then, when they faced off in the last round of questions, they defeated Dawson-Bryant, 51-41.

Ironton’s winning team consisted of Abigail Workman, Mason Phillips, Mason Wheeler, Phoenix Payne, Sascha Posch, Connor McDaniel, Xander Knore, Annika McCown and Kylie Haynes. Their advisor was Allison Gleichauf.

Second place Dawson-Bryant were named the season champions for the year in individual school-to-school matches.

Third place in the event went to St. Joseph High School.

The tournament was organized by the Lawrence County ESC, who also conduct the county spelling bee and science fair.
