Carolyn Schreiber, thank you so much for being with us today.

And we want to talk to you a little bit about, for you in general.

You've been a part of this a long time.

What originally got you started with quiz Bowl in the first place?

Well, the state wanted to kind of give it up.

What they were doing at the time, and they were only doing it like high school at one level.

And, they needed someone to take it over.

So I said, okay, I'll do it.

And I did, and, developed it up, got a board, and we started it.

Go on.

And we added lawyers and we get a junior high and build it up.

And you've been doing this for just a few years.

How has it impacted your life?

Well, I'm not sure.

I mean, it seems like I've been doing it all the time, and, it has been quite a few years, actually, doing this, but it's all been fun, and I've met a lot of neat people and a lot of neat kids and teams, and, it's just been going well.

Please know you have had an impact on many of the quiz Bowl contestants as well as organizers.

So thank you for all you have done.

And it is time now for round two.

So for that we go over to the quizmaster.

I also want to say that from the coaches, we also do appreciate what Caroline has done for us over many, many years with Quiz Bowl.

So, just want to express that as well from the coaches.

So we had no challenges or substitutions during our break.

So we will go ahead and be moving towards our second quarter, which are toss ups that lead to four part bonuses.

And those answers have to come from the captains.

So I'm going to double check with Russellville.

Our captains going to be Sarah and over here with Sheridan, our captains going to be Avery.

All right.

And so since we have no substitutions and anything else ready to go, I believe that we can go ahead and start round two.

Round two.

All right, hands on buzzers.

Here we go.

This speech calls its audience the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

Blessed are the meek.

Russellville, Sarah.

Sermon on the Mount.

It is the sermon on the Mount.

Your bonus category is going to be Egyptian mythology.

I'm going to give you a description of an Egyptian deity.

You're going to name that Egyptian deity.

All right, here we go.

Our first one is the Jackal headed god of the dead nucleus.

Anubis.

Correct.

The cat headed goddess of pleasure.

I said it as often as she's not Bastet.

Yes.

Number three, the falcon headed god of the sky.

Horus.

Horus, it is Horus.

And our fourth one, the scarab beetle.

God of creation.

Defer to Gideon Kapri as correct.

Nicely done.

All four.

So return to a toss up for both teams.

This properties radical its radial form out of Russellville.

Gideon.

Symmetry is symmetry.

I mispronounced that last word there, so thank you for seeing through my mispronunciation.

Your bonus is going to be the works of George Orwell.

And so the following about any of the works from George Orwell.

Here we go.

Number one, in an Orwellian novel set as one of these places, pigs such as Napoleon Snowball vie for power.

In that novel, set in one of these locations, the horse boxer promises I will work harder.

Farm.

Yes.

Number two, Orwell wrote a short story about shooting one of these animals in elephant.

That's correct.

Number three.

I'm looking for the title of George Orwell's first novel, published in 1934 and set in an Asian country formerly ruled by Britain.

As a paper.

An answer please, sir.

Burma.

Not what I have.

And number four.

Orwell produced multiple reviews of this novel by Arthur Koestler.

In this novel, Nikolai.

Rubbish is an allegory for the victims of the Moscow trials.

Darkness at noon.

That's correct.

So for number three, the title of that first novel was Burmese Days.

All right.

So we're going to go for a toss up for both teams.

Here we go.

The second novel in the Warriors series is named after these two substances.

Russellville, Gideon.

Fire and ice.

That is correct.

You're going to have a bonus about southernmost cities in the world.

Book.

Thank you.

All right, here we go.

Our first one.

The southernmost city lists exclude this icy continent as it technically does not have any cities.

Antarctica?

Yes.

Number two, in South America.

This southernmost city, or sorry, the southernmost city in the world, is generally considered to be Puerto Williams in this country.

This country disputes much of Patagonia with Argentina.

Chile?

Yes.

Number three Portugal.

Williams is the main port south of this land to fire a disputed archipelago.

Tierra del Fuego.

Correct.

And number four.

This Argentinian city, the capital of that land of fire, claims the title of the world's most southernmost city because it contends that Porto Williams is too small to count.

Totally different.

Keegan, Puerto Toro.

Not what I have.

I have Lucia, the white fish you acquire being told by people who know it better.

All right, so we'll do a toss up for both teams.

And this may be our last toss up of this round.

One of these works by Leos Gianna set was named for the Glasgow Legalistic alphabet.

Another of these works that saved Paula Forney was composed by Palestrina and named for Pope Sheridan Avery.

Opera.

Not what?

I have no, name for Pope Marcellus.

Dona nobis pacem is the last of the 27 sections of a JS Bach work of this type in B minor.

What type of liturgical work is known for?

Eight.

It's known as a requiem when composed for the dead.

Russellville.

Gideon, mass.

It is a mass.

Your category is going to be about astrono right?

So question one this astronomical device takes its name from the Greek for foreseeing telescope and still telescope.

Correct.

This measurement is equivalent to about 150,000,000,000m, exactly defined as the average distance between the sun and the Earth.

Astronomical unit.

Correct.

Number three, this astronomical device is used to calculate the angle of the sun at noon and extrapolate your current longitude.

After this astrolabe.

It's incorrect.

And number four.

This device is a mechanical version of the Solar system, with the sun at the center and a planet at the end of each arm, usually driven by a clockwork apparatus.

Okay, Helio Gramm.

No, it's not what I have.

So the one that calculates the angle of the sun is a sextant.

And the mechanical version solar system is an orrery.

All right, so that is the last question of round two.

Do we have any challenges from either side?

No.

All right.

So with that we have a score of Russellville 190.

Sheridan at 80.

Now we will move to preparations for our lightning round.

Sheridan, you will have first choice of your lightning rounds, and I will give you the titles and a brief description.

And then we will take a short break to decide what we're going to pick.

So your categories.

A wicked fun category.

Answer these questions about wicked questions may relate to either the book or the musical category.

Number two is are we there yet?

What a game it was to exclamation point to the time Arkansas team.

And welcome back.

It is time for the Lightning round.

The teams have made their choices.

So let's turn it over to our quizmaster for round three.

Take it away, Josh.

All right.

During your break, we had some choices, and teams did a lot of substitutions.

So, Sheridan has first choice, and they have chosen.

Are we there yet?

Which is questions about the journey of Odysseus.

And we have a couple substitutions.

Preston has come in and Kate has come in.

And am I missing anyone?

Right.

Mitchell's already coming.

That's right.

And then Russellville has chosen to talk about wicked, wicked fun category.

And Alex is in and Marley is in in.

Genie has come in for this round.

So a little bit of strategic positioning on both teams for our rounds.

This is our 62nd round.

We're going to have ten questions answered as fast as we can.

Answers will come from our captains, and any questions that's missed can be answered by the other team afterwards.

So, with all that out of the way, let's begin.

Round three.

Round three.

All right, Sheridan, we have chosen.

Are we there yet?

Answer the following questions about the journey of Odysseus.

Answers will come from Avery unless he defers to someone else.

Who am I getting?

All ten also earns a 20 point bonus on top of their 100 points for all ten questions.

Correct.

And Russellville, it's now your turn to do the same.

Potentially.

I, we have a wicked fun category.

Answer.

The questions about wicked questions may relate to either the book or the musical.

Sarah, are you ready?

All right then, let's start now.

We have a rare double run in the lightning round.

Well done to both teams.

So now our score after the bonus has been applied is Russellville, 310, Sheridan 200.

A very well scoring game.

Do we have any challenges from either team?

I'm going to bet.

No.

All right, I will see.

We will check for substitutions.

And with that, let's throw it back to Christina.

There were no challenges, as we suspected.

So this is our fourth quarter.

This is 20 toss ups.

And after the 20 toss ups over, we will hopefully know who is going to be our six eight state champions and runners up.

So deep breath everybody.

All right.

And with that we're going to go ahead and start round four.

Come on over.

Go ahead.

Introduce yourself.

Walter.

Woody, I'm from South Side High School, Fort Smith.

Okay.

Wonderful.

You have been a part of this for a long time, and you know a lot about this, but talk a little bit about the pressure that in these lights and in the studio and being live on TV brings to a quiz bowl competition.

Well, a team like Russellville will have experience because they've been here the last ten, ten years.

Shared the last time they were here was in 2016 when they played, Russellville in the final.

So it is different because when you're just in a classroom playing matches, but now you're with the TV lights, the different set up, so there's a little bit of pressure, but once the game starts, they should be comfortable.

And and Sheridan has played well so far.

And give me a little analysis of what you've seen with this matchup so far.

I know that you've know a little bit of history about these teams.

Yes.

You know, if Russellville wins, it'll be their ninth straight championship.

Only Covid has stopped them since 2016.

But the, the, the both teams have played well so far.

The second quarter has been the big issue.
