For the first time in history, the LCHS Knowledge Bowl Team competed in the WREG News Channel 3 Knowledge Bowl, and it was a close game! Team members include Ethan McClain, Cheyenne Bledsoe, Taylor Miller, Zion Watts; team sponsor is LCHS teacher Tammy Talbott.
The News Channel 3 Knowledge Bowl premieres each October. WREG News Channel 3 Meteorologist Jim Jaggers, is the host of Knowledge Bowl. In a Jeopardy-like setting, Jaggers tosses out a mixture of curriculum-based and everyday life (trivia) questions about science, literature, history, math, geography, music, art and current events. The judge, Dr. Richard R. Ranta, retired dean of the College of Communication and Fine Arts at the University of Memphis, rules on the validity of challenged answers and questions.
Knowledge Bowl features 32 Mid-South high schools in the WREG News Channel 3 viewing area in five rounds of single-elimination competition. Games are pre-recorded on weeknights and air on Saturday mornings from October through May.
Go Gators!
