Southeastern left the Ross County Service Center victorious on Friday morning after defeating Huntington, Adena, Zane Trace and Paint Valley in the Ross County Quiz Bowl Tournament.

The tournament was originally scheduled for December 17th, but inclement weather delayed the event until now.

“We’ve worked really hard. We got pushed back two months, and we’ve been practicing every week,” said Isaac Blake of Southeastern.

Blake said that his team did not have high hopes for going undefeated. “We thought we might get third or something, but we came to play today.”

Southeastern Coach Garett Blair said, “an underrated part of it is being quick on the trigger. Make sure you’re practicing being able to make a decision quick.”

This strategy saw success for the Panthers, who went 4-0 on the day. Huntington finished in second place with one loss, Zane Trace third with two losses, Paint Valley fourth with three losses, and Adena in last place with no wins.

On the win, Blair said, “Mr. Grigsby, our other coach, deserves a lot of credit for it. And you know, winning is always fun.”
