On April 22, 2014, Patton Middle School students competed in the County Knowledge Bowl with 14 other area schools. The Knowledge Bowl is an academic competition consisting of a 60 question multiple choice written round, and four 60 question short-answer buzzer rounds. At the end of the contest, the 6th grade team of Hunter Courtney, Rachel Folmar, Andrew Ge, Cal Harper, Victor Liu, Catherine Odom, Liam O’Rourke, and Austin Weeber came away with first place medals. Additionally, Andrew Ge and Rachel Folmar were presented with certificates as their scores on the written round were among the top four of all 6th grade individual competitors. Furthermore, Patton’s 8th grade team competed with 32 teams, leading the way throughout the entire contest. Eric Folmar, Ryan Hastings, Michael Iacocca, David Linskens, Stewart Short, and Shuhan Yin ended the day with a first place victory and were also awarded team medals. Stewart Short was also named the top student scorer in the individual written round. All in all, it was an exciting and successful day for our Patton teams.
