Dalton Werner is our Male Athlete of the Week! Coach says "Dalton has been a quiz bowler since the 6th grade "Taste of Quiz Bowl". He is one of our most improved teammates from last season and has thrived with our transition back to regular in-person tournaments, rather than the virtual Covid-friendly competitions. Dalton is always one of the first teammates in the door for practice each day with a smile and a positive attitude, offering to help set up for practice. I am proud of the progress that Dalton has made on our team!"
We are so proud of you, Dalton! #TheBulldogWay
Isabella Martinez is our Female Athlete of the Week! Coach says "Isabella is one of our quietest teammates, but definitely comes out of her shell when it comes to quiz bowl. She is passionate and competitive and has improved a ton since participating in 6th grade "Taste of Quiz Bowl' last year, and has even shown vast improvement since we started practices back in December. She is gaining more and more knowledge and getting quicker on the buzzer and I am excited to see Isabella continue to grow next year as a quiz bowler!"
Keep up the good work, Isabella! #TheBulldogWay

Taylor Melugin is our Female Athlete of the Week! Coach says "She is new to quiz bowl this year as an 8th grader and has been a great addition to our team. She has stepped in as a team leader showing confidence on the buzzer and learning rules and strategy quickly to earn a spot on the A squad. Taylor is our team's "expert speller" and you can bet if a spelling question comes up, Taylor will earn those points for us in a meet. We are glad that Taylor gave quiz bowl a try this year!"
Great job, Taylor! Keep it up! #TheBulldogWay
Brodie Small is our Male Athlete of the Week! Coach says "He is a "dual-sport" athlete this season and has been working hard to balance both quiz bowl and basketball practices and competitions. He has become a leader on our A squad as a 7th grader, especially with his strength in math. Brodie is always respectful, coachable, and a supportive teammate. He is a true definition of a "student-athlete". We are glad to have him on our team!"
Congrats Brodie!! We are proud of you! #TheBulldogWay
