Lucy York is our Female Athlete of the Week. Coach says "Lucy York, one of our 7th grade team members, participated in our 6th grade "Taste of Quiz Bowl" and was a student volunteer during our home tournament last year. She enjoyed helping so much that she and another student came to our practices to help with buzzers and questions nearly every day. That experience has helped her pick up the quiz bowl rules and etiquette quickly this year and Lucy has become a force on our B squad this season, getting more confident at every meet. She answered several questions to help lead her team to a 2nd place finish at a tough Pittsburg tournament. I appreciate the positivity and sense of humor that Lucy brings to our practices and meets. Not only is Lucy a wonderful teammate, but she is always a great leader around our school, with top-notch grades and excellent behavior. I'm proud of what Lucy has accomplished with her team so far and look forward to the rest of the season with her!" Great job, Lucy!!! #TheBulldogWay
