Quiz Bowl 2023 - 1A Sacred Heart vs. Norfork

The Arkansas Governor's Quiz Bowl is a statewide celebration and recognition of scholarship as an Arkansas PBS tradition.

The program has been testing students knowledge and bringing future leaders into the spotlight since 1985.

I want to thank everyone who participated in Quiz Bowl this year and congratulate those who've made it to the finals here today.

Here's a softball to get you started.

What year did Arkansas become a state?

Hello and welcome.

We are live from the Arkansas PBS studios in Conway, its Twin Bowl 2023.

We have an exciting day in store for you with 14 high school teams competing to see who will win the Arkansas Governor's Quiz Bowl Association state championship.

There are seven matches on tap for today, starting with these seven a championship, followed by the 4a5a and three eight classifications.

Then after a short break, we will be back with 6a1a and two A classifications.

Now, what are the rules for quiz bowl?

Well, here's a short primer.

A quiz bowl match is made up of four rounds round one.

The first round is simply a 20 question tossup round.

Each correct answer is worth ten points.

Round two.

Round two also features toss up questions.

And if you buzz in and get one of those right, your team will receive four bonus questions worth five points each.

The third round is the lightning round.

The team that is behind at the end of round two gets first choice from three categories presented by the quizmaster.

They have 60 seconds to answer ten questions for ten points each, and if they get all ten questions right, they receive a 20 point bonus.

Any questions that a team misses, the other team can steal.

Round four is back to 20 Toss of questions.

Al Davis, our local quiz bowl expert.

Thank you for being here today.

Oh, you're welcome.

We appreciate it very much.

So those are the rules and it kind of explained how it works, but it can be a little bit complicated.

So those later rounds, though, they can be very, very interesting and fun to watch.

Yes, but it's not as complicated as it seems because the first round and the fourth round are just 20 questions.

And the students have to stand on their own.

They can't collaborate, but the second round and the third round last points, but a little trickier.

But they get to talk to each other.

Those will be interesting rounds to watch.

It's really fun to watch them collaborate and work together.

So thank you so much.

And I know we're going to be hearing a lot more from you throughout the day.

So thank you very much for your insight and your expertise.

Now let's meet the teams for our seven, a conference championship match between the Fayetteville Purple Bulldogs and the Conway Swamp.

Well, one thing I can tell you is Fayetteville come in loaded.

They have six National Merit Scholars on their team.

That's amazing.

A coach, that's a coach's dream.

However, look at Conway.

They just had to go through Fort Smith South Side to get here and might not have been easy.

But the confidence is there.

So what do I expect from this game?

I expect speed.

Steve might not read a whole lot of the questions to the end because these are going to buzz in early.

Coming back this summer.

Welcome back to the state championships of quiz ball for 2023.

We are currently in the middle of round one, which is between Fayetteville and Conway.

Fayetteville is currently in the lead, but there are still three rounds to go.

So let's go back over to the quizmaster for round two.

Well, welcome back here to the studios at Arkansas PBS.

And we've got a great match going between Fayetteville and Conway.

And the Conway kids have already invited me to their musical The Night of Kiss Me Kate.

And but they got to focus now, not on singing, but on answering quiz bowl questions so they can catch up in this round.

All right.

Well, with that said, here is our first question in round two.

Round two.

This reclusive, venomous snake whose range in Arkansas is only a small portion of the Southwest can be identified from the similarly colored scarlet kingsnake with this rhyme Jack coral snake, coral, snake is what we needed.

Good job.

All right.

So that means for those of you watching that Conway has earned a bonus category where they will be answer answering four questions for five points each.

All thing.

But you got three out of the four or so, 25 points total on that one question.

Good job.

All right.

Both teams are ready for the next toss up.

Here we go.

What is the name for the code of conduct for Samurai James Bushido?

Code?

It's your turn, James, to give Conway a bonus category.

All right.

These are called mathematical terms.

A quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal length sides that are adjacent to each other, but not parallel by too tight is the right answer.

All right.

Endless value that cannot be defined.

Infinity.

Yes.

Symmetrical.

No.

Any number that can be written as a fraction where both the numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is not equal to zero.

Rational.

Rational is the correct answer.

So once again, three out of the four.

So 25 points added to your score and they're catching up.

Well, you're going to have to do your job here in a second.

All right.

We're going to try to get the next tool of the math computation.

All right.

But are you ready?

Here we go.

We got 20 seconds on the clock.

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry?

Of Y equals 24 X squared, -36 x minus pi.

All right, give me x equals three.

Four.

It's coming.

And your turn during a bonus for your team.

Good job.

Three fourths.

I'd still be sitting at home looking for my paper and pencil on that.

All right.

It's called Authors in the Family.

And we only have one bonus remaining.

Y'all are doing so well.

Let's see if we can get it with this question.

This word, the French for relaxation, is a process of managing relations with the potentially Irene detente.

Detente is correct.

Very good, Irene.

And you have earned your team a category called Doing work.

Leave it to mass.

It's okay.

Momentum.

Momentum.

Nicely done and nicely done by both schools on that round.

All right.

So that's going to end round two for us and what we'll need to do is take a short break while the well, the schools decide if they want to sub and well, we'll get the categories here in just a moment.

So let's cross over Christina for a moment and then we'll be back with the categories.

Thank you so much, Steve.

So, all right, Bill, we are waiting to find out if there are any challenges or substitutions from round two.

So once we do that, the quizmaster will be able to announce categories for the Lightning Round.

Now, in the Lightning Round, teams will be picking from a set of ten question categories to try to answer within a minute.

So what factors do teams consider when they're deciding which categories to select?

Couple of things they need to consider.

One is how much do I know?

And the other is how much does the other team know?

With these two teams, they're going to be paying more attention to what we know.

And can we run the 62nd round?

Remember, if you run the 62nd round, you answer all ten, you get a 20 point bonus.

And this would be what Conway would love to do right now.

And they get the first choice.

There's three.

So they get the first choice and that'd be great.

Take note of this.

In that first quarter, there were only four questions that weren't answered by these two teams.

And take note of this.

Conway has been behind only to just charge forward in nearly catch him two or three times.

Right.

If I were Farmville, I'd be a little nervous if I were Conway.

They're going to be complete.

They're going to be more aggressive.

And that might cost them because they'll jump in quicker.

However they have the ability.

This is going to be a really close match.

Okay.

Well, we have heard there are no challenges.

So it is time for us to go back to the quiz Master Steve.

All right.

Welcome back.

It is time to choose our Lightning Round category and Conway, you get to pick first from these three choices and then a favor.

Then you'll pick one of the other two.

All right, so we have these biology terms, starting with the letter G. Okay.

Category two is called Landmark Supreme Court cases.

Identify these landmark Supreme Court cases from a description.

And the third category is called Three's a Crowd.

Given three characters from a literary work name, the work in which they appear teams you have one minute to pick and to make substitutions.

And we're going to go to a break while they do that.

Welcome back to the Quiz Ball State Championships.

We are back with the Lightning Round.

The teams have made their choices.

So now let's turn it over to our quiz master for round three.

Steve.

Thank you so much, Christine.

We are in the exact middle of the seven, a championship match between Fayetteville and Conway and Conway.

You had to pick their category first and they have chosen landmark Supreme Court cases and then, Janet, you in the Fayetteville group chose the biology term, starting with the gene.

So they have made substitutions.

Danielle and Ethan are in over here for Conway.

And over here we brought in Tosh and Allen are both in for the Fayetteville Group.

So good to have you all in the game and good luck to both schools.

You're going to get one minute.

As you know, to answer as many as ten questions in that minute.

All right, Jack, They all my answers from you.

All right.

You have chosen landmark Supreme Court cases.

Identify these landmark Supreme Court cases, a description.

All right.

Well, the minute past up there and you probably knew the answer to that last one, but they won't pass over because you did not give an answer.

Let's see you miss.

The number two established that private property subject to public regulation, if it's devoted to public use, no.

And also requires states to license and recognize same sex marriage versus Hodges.

Yes.

All right.

The one that we both schools missed was man versus Illinois.

Man was unknown.

And then the one that the timer now ruled that separate but equal is inherently an equal was brown versus the Board of Education of Topeka.

All right.

They've had their chance.

Now Fayetteville is your chance.

And Conway, you be ready for bounce backs over here as we give them these biology terms that start with a G. Okay.

You understand the category.

All right, here we go then.

We've got a minute on the clock.

Genetic makeup of an organism.

Genotype genes due to enter genotype.

Sorry, Jack.

Hey, Jack.

These are also G, and they're all biology.

All right, The first one is a mass of nerve cells.

Ganglion.

Yes.

Another name for the esophagus connecting mouth to stomach.

I think it's class.

Okay, Gladys.

No, it's kind of small filtration.

Oh, pardon me.

So small collection of capillaries in the kidneys where blood filtration takes place.

No answer.

That one is glamor.

Glamor.

Alice.

Glamor.

Alice.

I've never heard of it myself.

Another name for the esophagus connecting the mouth to the stomach was Gullet.

Gullet.

All right.

Okay, so we've got a score at the end of round three of 230 to 160.

Are we going to have any challenges here?

No challenges over here.

So we're going to go to Christine in a lot of teams to make substitutions.

All right.

Thank you so much.

See, we have a final round coming up for this first match of the day.

But for right now, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

I.

I'm the captain.

And cutting grass and fighting fires what I do.

I'm Brandon Dickey, and I'm not getting paid enough for this.

At least not yet.

I'm Stanley.

I'm a senior and all I do is mess questions and chew bubble gum.

But I'm a little bubble gum.

I I'm a senior and just an average guy.

I'm Kate Herron.

I'm a junior, and I'm just here for Greek mythology.

Hello, my name is Graham Greer.

I'm a junior at Arkadelphia High School, and I have a unicorn named Dave.

I'm kidding.

His name is Shirley.

I'm Sullivan Jones.

I'm a junior, and I love my mom.

I'm sorry Here.

I'm a junior, and I'm just here to look pretty.

My name is Bryce Martin.

I'm a sophomore.

We're not talking in.

Hi, I'm Alice.

I'm a sophomore, and I don't even know what I'm doing up this early.

My name is Steve Patterson, and I coach the greatest quiz ball team in Arkansas, the Arkadelphia Badgers.

My name is Beverly.

Slogans teach at Arkadelphia High School.

I have the privilege of working with, as Mr. Patterson said, the greatest quiz bowl team ever.

Well, clearly, they have a lot of fun on these teams, but this is also very serious business.

And so Bill Davis is our quiz bowl expert here today.

So we're looking at for a what can we expect from these two teams?

Well, one thing that's exciting is that bauxite hasn't been here in a long time.

They think they may have never been here.

But I also heard that they were here and won about ten years ago.

There's a trophy somewhere on their campus.

But the five that members now take note of that there's only five members on their team, so there'll be no substitution for bauxite.

However, that might be an advantage.

Sometimes when you make substitution, you make mistakes Arkadelphia, on the other hand, very experienced, has been here many times.

Steve Patterson, wonderful coach.

They will be a challenge for bucks on.

Okay, well I'm excited to see how this all plays out.

So at the end of the question, it said to give another name for the Pentateuch and other than the Pentateuch and the student had said Pentateuch.

So because you interrupt when you interrupt the question, you take the the risk of not getting your answer rule correct because there may be a change or a hook at the end of the question, unfortunately.

Okay.

Well, thank you so much for explaining that to us and we appreciate that very much.

Let's go ahead and continue the match up and send it back over to the quizmaster.

So that brings us that's that's the last question of round two.

So we will take four challenges and substitutions.

And while we'll do that, we'll go over to Christina and Bill.

Okay.

Thank you, Greg.

So, Arkadelphia in the lead here, but been very close.

Yes, very.

It's not going to be a time, you know, to score everything from here forward is ten point question.

Okay.

So somebody is going to win.

Somebody is going to lose.

And we can't predict that.

Notice how box I charged and got ahead for a while So Arkadelphia doesn't have this in the bucket.

You know, I mean, anything can happen.

That's what's so exciting about these matches and to watch them.

And so we are halfway through the match heading into round three.

Now you've watched a lot of quiz of all over the years.

How do you gauge a team's confidence and comfort behind the buzzer at this point?

It takes a lot of practice because when you put somebody up there, you're in a pressure point.

However, the teams we've watched this morning, it's obvious that they're confident and it's obvious that they're comfortable.

They're not having to look away.

They're not having to check with somebody else.

They are doing their job.

Another thing you'll notice when you have a challenge, they kind of relax because once the challenge is filed, the players can relax.

They're out of the loop.

They're right and that's the way it should be.

Then when you fire back at and the questions start coming their way, they have to be good listeners, which means they have to be comfortable.

You can't be fidgety and be a good listener.

You've got to listen to every word and look for that key word.

It's going to give you the answer.

Well, these are very comfortable folks, which is impressive because it is a lot of pressure.

It's intense.

And you would think this was a thought.

This was first time I'd done this kind of thing.

The answer to question three, that was based on the space travel.

I didn't give you the correct answer that the name of the first crewed spacecraft of NASA's Artemis mission was Orion.

So I apologize for that.

I want to make sure everybody knows that.

Then if Andrew Sullivan, when he entered the third round over here, I want to give him his props being in there for the third round for Arkadelphia.

And now we have.

Sorry, you're back.

So with all of that, round four is our 20 last 20 torso question rounds and without any further ado, we will begin round for round four.

I know.

Time out.

Gave you a one minute time out.

Okay, so we have a time out going on.

And so I want our expert to tell us a little bit about what is that and how does that work.

Coaches have the right to call a timeout in the first and fourth quarter.

They can also call timeout for the others, not third quarter when it's getting started and they use it at this time of the game in order to put students in and give them this atmosphere, they're looking forward, not not back where they're wanting students to be able to sit there for a few minutes and give the feel of what this is like in the studio.

And that's what they're doing.

Now, remember, bauxite can't substitute because there's only five members, right?

But Arkadelphia has 17 in their squad.

Wow.

Yeah.

Now, maybe not all of those are identified as quiz bowlers, but I will say this as a coach, I always took several.

Sometimes I'd have 20 or 25 because you want them to be involved and they are involved.

We've got a lot of students that are involved that's not in front of the camera.

They're doing research.

They're looking at.

Was that correct?

Is there another question answer to that question, so forth and so on?

And just to be involved this experience and feel the love and the excitement of that is a huge experience for all of us.

And another thing is to it helps the students that are in front of the camera because they've got that support system in the back.

Okay, Well, the timeout has been completed, so we're going to send it back over to the quizmaster.

All right.

Welcome back.

Leave it to Steve Patterson to do the one thing all day long that we hadn't practiced on, and that was for that time.

I also leave it to him for that.

I apologize for that.

But he wanted to get some folks in there.

So we're going to welcome Mason and Stanley to the table here for Arkadelphia, and we'll continue on with our toss up question number 45 in economics, what is the portmanteau for the condition of persistent high inflation and high unemployment leading to a stagnant economy?

Judson Bull market.

Now, if we had to know what a portmanteau was there, that would be stagflation.

46 If a sale is placed into this type of solution, there will be a net flow of water into the sale and the sale will gain volume.

Question 49 is math computation.

And it's the last one for this match that makes you all as happy as it does.

Me What is the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are four or five and 1217 Mason 811 Yes, sir.

Good job.

And Question 50 The final question of the round of the match, this poem by Robert Frost, written in blank verse, is about humans primitive urge to mark their territory by selling cabin, mending.

Yes.

Good job, Steve.

You had any challenges, any challenges over here saying no challenges that will give us the opportunity to congratulate the for a runner up bauxite with a score of 215 points and the four day champion Arkadelphia with 290 points.

And we'll send it over to first day.

That very excited in here.

Of course, that was a great matchup between faced wonderful game well by both teams.

And I want to mention something about these math questions that they're when they're computational, let's not forget they get 20 seconds they only have pencil and paper.

Wow.

A lot of those students will figure out through the course of the year how to do a lot of that computation in their head.

Sure.

And they're encouraged to do that.

Okay.

Well, it's hard either way from just watching the boy.

They are so quick on that.

So we will be right back to celebrate the winners, of course.

But first, let's take a moment to meet some students that we may very well see on this stage in a few years.

Hello and welcome.

We are back and live once again from the Arkansas PBS studios in Conway.

Twin Bowl 2023.

This is our third match of the day.

And we are going to find out who will be our five Arkansas Governors Quiz Bowl Association champion.

Now, if you're unfamiliar with Quiz Bowl, here is a refresher on the rules of quiz bowl.

A quiz Bowl match is made up of four rounds round one.

The first round is simply a 20 question toss up round.

Each correct answer is worth ten points.

Round two.

Round two also features toss up questions.

And if you buzz in and get one of those right, your team will receive four bonus questions worth five points each.

The third round is the lightning round.

The team that is behind at the end of round two gets first choice from three categories presented by the quizmaster.

They have 60 seconds to answer ten questions for ten points each, and if they get all ten questions right, they receive a 20 point bonus.

Any questions that a team misses, the other team can steal.

Round four is back to 20 up questions.

And now let's meet the teams for our five conference championship match between the Valley View Blazers and the Batesville Pioneers.

Coming back this summer.

Welcome back to our five a match up where Valley View is just barely ahead of Batesville.

But there's plenty time for anything to happen.

So let's get back over to the quizmaster for round two.

All right, before we begin to round them, we have in the game now for Valley View.

Jack has come into the game.

Jack, good to have you in over here for Batesville.

We have Tyler.

So those those two can make the difference now in this round.

So we're going to find out.

All right.

Just one question away from catching up over here.

Batesville and Valley View.

Your job is not to let that happen right round for.

Okay, so round two, you have the chance to get a bonus question when you get to town.

So, Brian, and you can confirm Maggie, you're our captain and tie your captain over here.

So we're ready to win around to the eastern of the two rivers that made up the borders of the air tie Tigris.

You're right.

And you've earned a bonus in it called Silent Film Stars.

I'm sure you remember the old silent days before the talkies, silent film stars identify these from a brief description, American actor and cowboy star of 291 early Westerns from 1909 to 1935, all but nine were silent films.

John Wayne No, he was in the talkies.

All right.

Because to do nicknamed that the IT Girl, she embodied the full of life independent flapper of the 1920s.

Clara Bow Yes.

Okay.

This Italian American romantic lead her most famous movie.

What are his most pardon me his most famous movie was the son of the sheet after which he died suddenly at age 31.

Charles Rogers.

Charles Rogers?

No.

And this Canadian-American actress was known as America's Sweetheart and the queen of the movies.

Yeah, maybe.

Monroe.

No, that one was Mary Pickford and the Cowboys star was Tom Mix.

And then the son of the chic actor was Rudolph Valentino.

Okay, but you got one.

And so that's 15 points for the group and just five points away now from Valley View.

Let's see which team can the next bonus here with this toss up it happens to be math computation.

All right.

Here it is.

What is the expanded form of log to x, y, Caden, log two plus log X plus log Y.

Yes.

All right.

So you've earned a bonus for the Valley View team called Trigonometric Conversions.

You're going to get 20 seconds to answer each of these.

You must search your answer within the 20 seconds.

Okay.

It says convert these angles from radians to degrees PI.

Radians.

Answer 180 degrees.

Yes.

Pi divided by six radians.

Answer 30 degrees yes to pi divided by three radians.

Answer 120 degrees yes.

And number four pi divided by four radians.

Answer 45 degrees.

Right.

So all four of those.

Correct.

Good for a total of 30 points on that one question.

All right.

Here's the next toss up for both schools.

In the 1920s, Jamaican political activist and black nationalist Marcus Garvey predicted look to Africa when a black king shall be crowned for the day of deliverance.

Is that hand which Emperor Thai Haile Selassie.

You're right.

And you've earned your team a bonus called a I assistance.

Identify these artificial intelligence assistance.

From a brief description, this Amazon assistant allows the user to ask questions, carry out tasks, play music and set alarms.

Alexa Yes, This Microsoft assistant answers questions and takes notes, provides reminders and helps manage calendars.

Cortana Yes, This assistant relies on natural user interface to make phone calls and text messages and dictate location.

Siri Yes.

And number four, the This meeting assistant records transcribe and searches voice conversations, allowing users to skim quickly through long meetings.

Zoom No, that one is fireflies.

Fireflies.

I need to get that because love to zoom quickly through long meetings.

All right.

Well, three out of four, though, that's pretty good.

So 25 points on left category.

All right, we've got one left.

Don't we see who can get it with this toss up question in this Elizabethan play, a German doctor who becomes dissatisfied with traditional forms of knowledge wants to practice magic, makes a deal with a demon.

CHARLES Doctor Faustus, you've earned the last bonus.

Charles And it is called Arthurian legends, Arthurian legend.

So, all right, identify these people from the legends King Arthur.

This son of Lancelot is named by King Arthur as the greatest of all knights, because he completed the quest for the Holy Grail pass.

As Arthur's counselor and magician, he guides Arthur to draw Excalibur from the stone and creates the round table pass wife of King Arthur, who is in love with Sir Lancelot Pass, and the son of King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay, who him is killed by his father in Battle Pass.

And I have a feeling you knew probably all of those, but a little strategy going, isn't there, so that we can have a tied game going into the lightning round.

And judges remind me what we flipped the coin?

Or do they get to pick who gets to pick because they get to oh, they're calling the coin flip.

Okay.

I know you all flipping.

Okay, Ty, you get to call heads or tails.

Don't do it, Chad.

And whatever the results are, that's what your goal is, right?

It's heads.

It is.

It is hands.

So you all will pick first and then value you pick from the other two.

So right now, scores tied at 120.

And we're going to go over to Christine and Bill.

Okay.

Well, thank you so much.

So that was exciting and a little entertaining there.

That actually that's a strategy.

So explain kind of what happened there.

That's a strategy.

Baseball did not want to be behind and not any chance of picking be the first one to pick.

So once they realized they were tied, I'm going to gamble with the flip of the coin and they would get to call it it wouldn't make any difference which one called it.

But what you're doing is you're wanting to pick first, and that's what makes for just one.

That's a good strategy.

There's a couple of other strategies in this quarter that coaches and players use.

One is in the course of having the ten questions, you can pass on a question that means that opportunity will go to the other team because you didn't answer it.

You can it will go to the other side.

The other strategy is you can stall.

If you stall, it kills the rest of the 62nd round and the rest of the questions.

So the other team, your opposing team, won't get any chance.

I have seen teams pick an area that they knew the other team was really good at and then just kill it.

Wow.

So they wouldn't get a chance to go through it and neither one of these teams will stop.

These are good enough teams.

They're going to go for whatever they find and we may see the first six second round run with these.

These are very well coached teams, very well coached, very impressive.

So much going on, so much for them to think about all at the same time.

So right now, let's go back to the quizmaster and get ready for the next round.

All right.

Well, welcome back here to the studio where Valley View and Batesville are at a dead time, 120 to 120.

And we had a coin flip.

And since Batesville answered the last question correctly, they got to choose heads or tails and they chose correctly.

So they get pick first from these three categories and then Valley View, you'll have the other two to choose from.

All right.

You might choose the Cold War, identify these people, places and terms from the Cold War.

Or you might prefer the human body.

Identify part of the human body to which each statement refers.

And the third category is starts with an F Identify these people atoms and terms from all disciplines, but they all begin with the letter F. All right.

A very exciting game going on, and we're glad that we get to be here to watch.

While we were at break, Batesville chose the category of the Cold War and then Maggie and the Valve team chose the human body.

All right.

One of the first times I've ever been in a match where they didn't choose the leather or whatever.

All right, Batesville, you're going to go first since you won the toss.

And I think we're ready to start now.

We did bring in Asher here, so I am sure Good to have you.

That was fast and furious.

And we are going to take a quick break.

This month on Arkansas PBS, after a miniature village is opened, a man is murdered.

It would appear that poor Joe knew his assailant broken neck.

Question is, did she fall while she pushed an 80 year old woman is murdered?

The shootings are getting closer together.

I need you.

New documents are being digitized every day.

And every day the DNA databases get bigger.

Sometimes the most moving revelations come from the paper trail.

Sometimes some of the most shocking revelations come from DNA.

I think I found out a little bit too much.

That's what makes it special.

The magical way that we combine genealogical research with genetic research.

And we're the first program in the world to do that.

Without your support, there would be no finding your roots.

And without your support, there would be no PBS.

Oh, Arkansas.

PBS is a place where everyone can see themselves, where everyone will find themselves, where everyone can be a part of something bigger than themselves.

For students, it's always more fun and cool to see you learning.

I mean, just to have expression, to see different forms of entertainment.

It always just makes it more fun.

And when I heard that my mother was in different sections, that teachers were going to see where it kind of showed her intersection between the arts and education, I was excited for the students and we'll get to use it in the classrooms to target their talent and tenacity toward the top for today and tomorrow.

Poetry is something that exists beyond the page and also on the stage.

And so was so happy that they follow.

Young poets, saw the value in it, and wanted to document why everybody was trying to make it inside.

There was no inner in the classroom.

Doors were locked.

We were on lockdown.

Arkansas PBS is a seed that grows into a tree that branches out into fruit, taking feed the world.

Welcome back to Quiz Ball State Championships.

Now, there was a quick challenge in the last round.

It was recognized, it was resolved.

There was no change in the score, which means we are back and ready for the final round.

Let's send it over to the quizmaster for Take it away, Round four.

Well, you can see that the Batesville strategy was effective.

That last question, even though they probably knew most, if not all of those Arthurian answers.

So now we have a score of Batesville 250 and Valley View 190.

So 60 questions.

But there are 20 questions left.

So it's very quite doable here, isn't it, for Valley View to come back?

And they told you you want to hold on and maintain your lead.

So this is an exciting one.

This one will go down in the books as one of the best matches we've had in a long time.

That's pretty exciting as you're staying in the game.

But William and Jack are back and Kayden, you're steady and okay, well, here we go with our last round of 20 tossup questions.

Y'all ready?

All right, here we go.

We're going to start with math computation factor the polynomial two x cubed plus 14 x squared, plus 24 x, Caden, two X times the quantity of x squared plus seven x plus 12.

No Alexander two x times the quantity x plus three times the quantity x plus four.

Yes, that's correct.

And they get their 5 seconds to answer.

So that's why I let them go ahead and do that.

All right.

You're right.

I didn't even get to talk about the Cross of gold speech.

All right.

In his 1874 Harper's Weekly cartoon called the third term Panic, he addressed the possibility of a third term run for president Ulysses s Grant by depicting the Republican voter, Ty Nat Turner.

No, but the big thing, an elephant for the Republicans and a donkey wearing a lion frightening away the elephants.

What cartoonist is credited with giving the political parties their symbols?

Maggie Thomas Nash, You're right.

All right.

According to Guinness World Records, what book written by French author Marcel Proust, Alexander Remembrance of Things Past or in Search of Lost Time.

Thai.

Saigon?

Yes.

All right.

We have a timeout called.

And so we're going to give I think it's 30 seconds for the timeout, but we will take a pause here while we take the timeout.

Christina, we are currently in a time situation and I kind of want to know a little bit about strategy wise.

Why was this taken at this point?

Well, again, like we said earlier, in an earlier game, the coach wants to get somebody in.

But if you'll notice on this one, the captain was signifying timeout because he was watching the score and he's already calculated this game's over.

You know, now our value cannot get back.

They can't win.

So he was asking his coach, take note of that and put some other folks in here so that we can keep this going.

They're going to win two back to back.

Wow.

They may be back.

And next year, I would not be surprised if Valley View doesn't come back and will come back to we've seen this before, the same match up.

And they're both very good and very qualified, but they really did kind of pull away there.

No, take note.

We've watched three games.

This is the third game today.

And baseball was the first team to run a 62nd run.

We may not see that happen the rest of the day.

Absolutely remarkable.

And it's been so much fun to watch.

So thank you that that wraps up the timeouts.

We're going to head back over to the quizmaster.

Well, welcome back.

Timeout was taken and some people were moved in and out.

Gwynn is in for Batesville and Quinton and Robert.

So good to have them.

And then over here on the Valley View side goes back just to the other end and Isaac is back in to see Isaac and Adrian is in.

And Elizabeth said, All right, well, we get to see everybody play today.

And That's nice.

All right.

We're ready to finish up the championship game here.

All right.

Well, here we go.

All right now another match.

We have another runner up and another champion.

Of course, I love that he mentioned Maggie and the way she wins.

No paper.

She can see it right in front of her as she works it out.

You know, these two teams were very, very good.

And it's a shame that the score was far apart.

But then I would have guessed if you played them again.

I don't think you could pick the winner.

Yes, but congratulations debatable Back to back is hard to do.

Very hard.

But I see.

And they're team members.

He's got a little program going here.

He's some freshmen and some sophomores juniors coming up.

Your so you get a medal and this But let me tell you how close it was.

You got it by six hundredths of a point.

How do you think about having to apply?

Because the Valley View student could not be here today.

He had you almost added you.

He had a look.

You had points six, six or something.

He had 4.60.

And for Lawrence King.

So he was close.

We also have a number of other all tournament players we have so was due from Dardanelle.

He actually beat both of you with his score.

So he's considered the high point player.

And we have Isaac Czarnecki from Morrilton.

Nope, no, no, he's too rich.

Got off the line on that.

Great.

Raul Prewitt from Morrilton Drew Phelps of the Lone Year.

And then we have another person that's still here today, Tom Bishop.

You are on the All-tournament team of Korea Kareem from Magnolia and Alex Stevens from Harrison.

That is our All-tournament team for this group of schools.

Congratulations, all of you.

Wonderful.

Well, once again, congrats to all of you.

You played a well, hard fought match, so impressive and so very good.

So congrats to everybody here.

And thank you, Carolyn, as well.

And I guess we also have some scholarships to award, is that correct?

Do Yes, indeed.

So we'd like for Spencer Watson and our two scholarship recipients to come up here while they were up here sort.

But they've got to come to the middle a little bit and we will let you give them their prizes.

Fantastic.

Thank you, Carolyn.

So again, my name is Spencer Watson.

It is always a thrill to be here if you squint real close at some of the footage you've seen earlier between games, you might see a much younger version of me competing in Quiz Bowl, but I'm excited to be back today representing Arkansas friends of Quiz Bowl.

We are a nonprofit organization of volunteers that was invited, I guess, about ten years ago by Ajakaye to administer an annual scholarship for students.

We are again a volunteer group and our board is made up of alumni like me, former coaches, current coaches, as well as members of the choir board to provide a lot of different perspectives.

And primarily what we do is we administer scholarship by hosting an invitational tournament each year, an enormous tournament with lots of teams, high schools, junior high, even middle school competing every year.

Although I would note we do have room on board right now if there are any philanthropic Bill Gates like members out there that have an interest, we would welcome your attention.

But primarily we fund it through the tournament, which is really cool because it's quiz ball perpetuating quiz bowl.

And what we're here today is share the results of that.

The scholarship process is after these students submit their application, they names are removed and they are assigned numbers.

And so the review process is completely blind.

And I'm here today to introduce to two exceptional young people who are here to receive those scholarships.

First is Levi Cherry of Murfreesboro High School.

Levi is a six year captain and studies geography and has translated that knowledge into wanting to major in aviation and become a pilot.

Correct.

So congratulations, Levi, thank.

And I'd also like to introduce Abigail Gonzalez.

Abby is from McQueen High School and she came to Chris Ball is very much a generalist, but has learned the power of specialization and relying on teammates.

As someone who has accepted a tremendous amount of responsibility at her home.

So, Abigail, wherever you go and whatever you do, we wish you the best of success and we want to offer our congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Okay, wonderful.

One more final round of applause for everybody.

All the participants and the scholarship winners.

Congratulations to all of you.

And that is three matches down.

Four more to go.

Up next, we have the three a, the state championship between the Mountain View, Yellowjackets and Hawes Hall, Fayetteville Live right here in just a few minutes on Arkansas PBS.

The Arkansas Governor's Quiz Bowl is a statewide celebration and recognition of scholarship as an Arkansas tradition.

The program has been testing students knowledge and bringing future leaders into the spotlight since 1985.

I want to thank everyone who participated in Quiz Bowl this year and congratulate those who have made it to the finals here today.

Here's a softball to get you started.

What year did Arkansas become a state state?

Good afternoon and welcome.

We are live from the Arkansas CBS studios in Conway.

It is Christmas 2023.

This is our fifth match of the day.

And we are going to find out who will be our sixth Arkansas Governors Quiz Bowl Association champion.

Now, if you're unfamiliar with Quiz Bowl, here's a refresher on the rules of Quiz Bowl.

A quiz Bowl match is made up of four rounds round one.

The first round is simply a 20 question tossup round.

Each correct answer is worth ten points.

Round two.

Round two also features toss up questions.

And if you buzz in and get one of those right, your team will receive four bonus questions worth five points each.

The third round is the lightning round.

The team that is behind at the end of round two gets first choice from three categories presented by the quizmaster.

They have 60 seconds to answer ten questions for ten points each, and if they get all ten questions right, they receive a 20 point bonus.

Any questions that a team misses?

The other team who steal round four is back to 20 toss of questions.

And now let's meet the teams for our six day conference championship matchup between the Russellville Cyclones and the Benton Panthers.

The governors and the Quiz Bowl Association and Miss Carolyn Shaw for sponsoring this program.

It's a great day to be a fighting panther.

Okay.

Two very well known schools.

And so we have our quiz bowl expert with us, Bill Davis.

I'm curious to know, what do you of this matchup, what do you what can we expect?

One of the things that jumps out at me is that Russellville has only got juniors in softball.

No, same here, seniors.

Then when you look at Benton you got several seniors on that team.

So it's going to be kind of interesting to see how this stacks up.

The other thing that I gathered from the Russellville coach was Mr. Gray, that they have been here eight years in a row.

This is their 80.

Wow.

And they have only lost once.

And the one they lost was the first year they came.

Wow.

So they are pretty hard to beat.

And Benton, on the other hand, used to be here all the time okay.

And I heard one of their players say and it was prom tonight and I've seen them show up with gowns and all kind of thing.

This is going to be an excellent match.

Okay.

Fast.

There'll be a lot of anticipation.

All the questions.

Sounds great.

Well, let's get to it and turn things over to our quizmaster, Steve Patterson, to find out who will be the six.

A state champion for Quiz Bowl 2023, Round two.

All right, Good to see y'all.

We did not play round one yet, but we're about two and two as Bill reminded us, two storied programs in Quiz Bowl between Russellville and Ben.

Well, I'm proud of all of you watched your play this year, and you've done wonderfully.

So these two teams deserve to be at the top.

And here you are.

All right.

So we're going to start the game and I wish you well.

And we will be sure that there are no challenges or substitutions going on.

And then we will be able to announce what the categories are for that lightning round.

But while we wait, we have Carolyn Chai with us.

Thank you so much for being here with us.

Of course, the Quiz Ball Association.

And we talked a little bit about all that they do for students, but tell us a little bit about how they reach out to students.

There are so many all across the state.

Well, we do a number of things to reach out to students, I think, you know, we try to to have some of the teams who have been active, you know, have them go and talk with other schools.

Maybe they're not active or not very active.

We have all of our camps.

We do a lot of things that reach out there.

Obviously, we have various types of, you know, interesting things like games and such thrown in between some of the fun challenges and the and the tournaments are going on.

But we have, you know, other things that we keep them going until 11 or 12, 11, 12:00 at night, whatever they're are, try to do anything after that, you know, So buddy crashes till the next morning.

We try to keep keep today's as full with activities as possible whether it's for, you know, at a camp or elsewhere, wherever it is, just keep them going more the more the merrier.

And we keep trying to invent new things.

So that's kind of how it goes.

That's great.

Well, thank you so much for all that you do.

All right.

It's time to go back to the mat.

So let's head it over to the quizmaster.

All right.

We're going to announce the categories.

Ben will pick first from the three categories, and then Russellville will choose the two remaining.

And then AB is coming here for the Bean group, and I think everyone else has been in.

All right, So, Joseph Stow, Captain.

All what you've chosen is common acids.

And it says, given the chemical formula of an acid, give the name of the acid.

All right H in oh three nitrous acid.

No, that one is nitric acid.

Oh.

Debate and asks Alec.

So Alec, what's the other one.

Okay.

All right.

Well we'll go to you now as well and Hayden and I'll try to do at least as well as Benton did.

So don't go anywhere.

We'll be right back after this.

Broken neck.

Question is, did she fall while she pushed an 80 year old woman is murdered?

The last time I to her, she was about to go into the wood.

The shootings are getting closer together.

New documents are being digitized every day.

And every day the DNA databases get bigger.

Sometimes the most moving revelations come from the paper trail.

Sometimes some of the most shocking revelations come from DNA.

I think I found out a little bit too much.

That's what makes us special.

The magical way that we combine genealogical research with genetic research.

And we're the first program in the world to do that.

Without your support, there would be no finding your roots.

And without your support, there would be no PBS.

Oh, Arkansas.

PBS is a place where everyone can see themselves, where everyone to find themselves, where everyone can be a part of something bigger than themselves for students.

It's always more fun and cool to see you learning.

I mean, just to have expression, to see different forms of entertainment, it always just makes it more.

And when I heard that my mother was caught in different sections, that teachers were going to see where it kind of show her intersection between the arts and education.

I was excited for the students and we'll get to use it in the classrooms to target their talent and tenacity toward the top for today and tomorrow.

Poetry is something that exists beyond page and also on the stage.

And so I was so happy that they follow.

Young poets saw the value it and wanted to documenting why everybody should try to make a living inside.

There was no inner from the classroom doors.

A lot.

We were on lockdown.

Arkansas PBS is a seed that grows into a tree that branches into fruit.

They can feed the world that I would have never known the things I know now without that program.

It really helped me advance my opportunity to this career field really gives them a fast forward, a good track to be able to come in to the technical trades to celebrate the first of five brand new transmitters that will broaden their signal coverage to just under 100% of Arkansas.

We are committed to helping the youngest Arkansans prepare for kindergarten and for life.

Education is everything.

And if we can teach our children, we have to get out there and make the most of it.

It's great.

So I'm just proud to do my part.

What I'm gonna I must say, I'm to you.

This is the first step to reforming our Arkansas, taking the effort to understand each other's struggles and making them our own.

Everyone repeat after me.

We have a Boy Scout.

He could not reach our souls.

Call you, Send me one.

You get everything you want.

And we are back now.

There has been a challenge.

So I have a race with me.

One of the judges who explained what the challenge was and what happens next.

Yes, this was on number three, where the question was H3 three for the challenge that was presented by Russellville was that instead of saying phosphoric acid, they said phosphoric acid.

And what we're deciding to do is we're going to throw that question out.

But because Benton would have got that incorrect, Russellville needs a chance at a bounce back to steel.

So we're going to give them the extra on this lightning round that Steve will be asking them.

And that's a chance for Russellville to steal those ten points.

Okay.

So on that note, let's go back to the quizmaster and play this out, Steve.

All right.

Well, welcome back.

And we had the challenge and the judges have ruled in favor of Russellville.

And so what we'd like to do, since you've heard the answer is give you the extra question and see if you can pick it up and it is head.

No.

You ready?

Yes, it is age to see r04 queens chromosome acid.

That's what I have as well.

All right.

So we'll add ten more points on to Russellville.

Score, and I guess we're taking away ten from the bin score.

All right.

Now that's going to lead us into a time of moving people out of substitution.

That's the word I needed.

Judges.

Thank you.

So we're going to take a short break here while we serve, we always take a break there this month on Arkansas PBS.

Got me back.

Have you ever seen one?

I've never I've never seen this before because it's like the lovechild assemblies on the violin.

I wanted to show who she was and didn't want to take a side.

I'm gonna walk and.

And tell.

All right.

I'm going to keep only on Arkansas PBS.

All right.

Welcome back to the studios here at Arkansas PBS on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas and Russellville, as you know, just won that challenge.

And and so then we had substitutions we needed to make.

Luke came in for Benton, and over here we brought the original five back from round one.

So good to have all of you in the game.

And we have one round left.

It's round four.

There are 200 points possible with a 100 point game.

This is certainly doable, Ben.

And with that too, we can begin the round for this.

Alkaline earth metal is two thirds the density of aluminum and has six times the specific stiffness of steel by weight.

No, in Japan was ordered by President Hoover to clear the camps.

General MacArthur?

MacArthur Very good.

We've had a timeout called and that's a 32nd time out and I believe Russellville called that time out.

The child may of course confer as well.

We're and we are in a time out situation.

I kind of explain in why you think strategically this was taken at this point.

Well, with the score like it is and we're in the fourth quarter of the fourth round, Russellville is going to put some people in and let them play, too, and that's going to keep his program going.

Remember, we stated at the start of this game, this is their eighth year in a row to be here.

So it's more than just this year.

This team, he's getting a program going and wants to continue that.

We had one team with only five players on the whole team today.

This team has a lot of representation here.

It's backside and, you know, I get excited when I see them take the pictures at the end.

When you're out there giving away the awards and I see lots of students involved, I suspect Box we'll get more students involved to it.

Kind of a fever.

Yes.

And it's really important to let everybody be involved, not necessarily always playing, but involved research behind the scenes.

They're always doing something right.

Yes.

Yes.

And that's why you see all of the students that are involved with these two teams out here, they all get it and it kind of grows.

It's contagious.

Absolutely.

Well, we are going to give them a little bit more time to get situated.

And something we've been talking about throughout the time here today is what, is it what's better in your mind for these to be really geared up and ready for this to be a lot of information about a little bit of things or a little information about a lot of different.

That's a that's a conversation that goes on all the time because you hear people say they need to specialize.

Sometimes you'll get a student like we saw Claire earlier, seemed like they can just know everything, Right.

But that's not true.

You will have some that will just know a very narrow window of knowledge, but know it very, very, very deep.

Kind of like the math one that we're seeing as well.

Thank you very much.

They are ready to get going.

So let's hand it back over to the quizmaster.

Well, it is good to see you back here this time out.

That one turn out to be fairly lengthy.

Then the Russellville has brought in some new players, Avery and Japheth and Green here therein.

Now, if you're unfamiliar with Quiz Bowl, here is a refresher on the quiz bowl rules.

A quiz bowl match is made up of four rounds round one.

The first round is simply a 20 question tossup round.

Each correct answer is worth ten points.

Round two, Round two also features toss up questions.

And if you buzz in and get one of those right, your team will receive four bonus questions worth five points each.

The third round is the lightning round.

The team that is behind at the end of round two gets first choice from three categories presented by the quizmaster.

They have 60 seconds to answer ten questions for ten points each, and if they get all ten questions right, they receive a 20 point bonus.

Any questions that a team misses, the other team can steal.

Round four is back to 20 toss of questions and it's now time to meet the teams for our one a conference championship match between the Sacred Heart Knights and the Norfolk Panthers and in Frozen.

We're waiting to find out if there are any challenges or if we'll be doing any substitutions, of course.

And that was round two and then we will be able to announce categories for the Lightning Round, which is coming up next.

One of my favorites, because obviously it's so fast moving.

So we have been broadcasting seven quiz bowl matches here on Arkansas.

PBS started this morning, but these teams have played countless tournaments across the state just to get here.

So how do you maintain your mental stamina when playing multiple games in one day?

I assume it's exhausting.

It is.

And when you go to an invitational tournament, normally what you do is you play three.

What we call preliminary games aren't from those games.

Then you're seeded into the afternoon.

We can, you know, you can you then participate in the elimination matches.

And you're right, some students will get tired, but mentally fatigued.

Yes, not necessarily Physically, but a lot of them, they just get warmer as the day wears.

Oh, I mean, they may be a little bit slow in the morning.

They speed up and some of them are afternoon folks.

You know, they really warm up with the sun and you'll see them just get hotter and hotter as the day goes on.

Also, when you get into the single elimination in the mornings when you're losing, you're not eliminated.

But in the afternoons, the intense sports really listening so they can get big, but not very often.

They're young.

Yeah, Ideally you have a combination of those that are good off the start and those that warm up.

Yes, a little bit of both.

And make it very rounded.

Okay, Let's go back over to the quiz master.

We're talking about categories for the Lightning Round.

All right.

Welcome back here to the studio in Arkansas PBS.

And we have a great game going here between Sacred Heart and or Norfolk.

And Norfolk, you'll pick from the two categories that are left.

So here are the categories you can talk about going pro, identify each of the following terms from math, science, social studies and literature that begin with the letters pr0 OC ologist.
