Armstrong’s Quiz Bowl team achieved a double victory in the Indiana County Academic League, qualifying them for a spot in the national tournament in Atlanta, Georgia. The top four members of the team will be eligible to compete in the High School National Championship Tournament held in late May. 

Both the varsity and junior varsity teams won first place in their respective brackets following the playoffs at Indiana High School on Jan. 23. 

The AHS varsity team won their league undefeated with just one tie against the varsity team of United High School. They placed first in the league in the playoffs bracket. The AHS junior varsity team had a record of five wins, two losses, and one tie in the regular season. They also placed first in the playoffs. 

Quiz Bowl is a club in which individuals compete at practice by answering questions consisting mainly of random trivia facts to gain a spot on the roster. The top five scoring individuals make it onto the varsity team and the five runners-up make it on the junior varsity team. 

Each team competes in several academic tournaments against teams from other schools in a system established by National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT). The league Armstrong competes in is based in Indiana County.

Social studies teacher Mr. Brian Coil is the Quiz Bowl advisor. This year’s seniors are Everett Walker and Jack Salsgiver.
