First there were eleven teams.  Ottawa, Parsons, Pleasanton, Iola, Caney, Chanute, Central Heights, Marmaton Valley, Uniontown, Yates Center, and West Elk. 

Bigger schools with bigger programs have more opportunities and tools available. 

Then there was the contests...

Ottawa 25            West Elk 80
Parsons 30             West Elk 90

This sounds great! Make sure the school gets us some information for the paper.

What a great accomplishment!!!!!!  I am so proud of our small town kids who are so dedicated, along with their coaches and sponsors!!!  This takes a lot of effort and extra time, and I hope West Elk will get the information to the paper so this good news can be shared.  It also makes our entire school system look pretty strong because these students don't excel JUST because they go to Scholars Bowl practice--they have had a broad background of educational experiences starting in Kindergarten and building on that base through all their school years.  Job well done!!!!!!!

[Diane Amberg]

That's really something to be proud of.Clap,clap,clap!

Those scores are awesome!  Good job West Elk scholars bowl team and coach!  If only people got as fired up about this kind of news--outstanding scholars, awesome representation of our school district, terrific activity to support students in academics--as they do about the negative stuff.

Congratulations West Elk Scholars Bowl team and coach.  Keep up the good work and continue to represent our school district in such a positive way.

What also needs to be mentioned is that our "B" team came in 3rd in that same tournament!

Our Junior High students this year are just awesome!
