Mount Ayr students compete in
POI quiz bowl
This year's winter Pride Of Iowa Academic quiz bowl competition was held on Wednesday, January 23 at Trinity
Community Church in Leon. Mount Ayr faced off with Lenox in the first round and lost by 1 point, which became
the story of the day for the Mount Ayr team. Even though the Mount Ayr team had student experience coming back,
the luck of certain questions doesn't go unnoticed. All team members included: seniors, Jasper ABARR and Kylie
WILSON, juniors: Matt POORE, Jacob SOBOTAK, Zach TIPTON, Leah KLEJCH, and Naomi RICHARDS scored points for the
team and brought a balance in scoring. In the second round Mount Ayr took a 1 point loss to East Union.
In the final round, Mount Ayr team lost by one point to Pleasantville. A free pizza lunch with beef burgers,
chips, and cookies was served by the church ladies. Sherry ADAMS said, "The kids performed well and all three
scores were very close; and all students scored team points." The final results included: 1st place - I-35,
2nd place - Nodaway Valley, 3rd place - Corning, and 4th place - Bedford.
