in the second round or what we call our bonus round uh now it's time for the lightning round unless we have any challenges on any of the bonus questions well are we good and we're good that's good okay let me read the uh three the three categories for you and then lake hamilton uh since you're trailing russellville then you'll get to pick first all right and here are the categories world geography given the name of a capital city named the african nation where it is located you might choose category 2 which is called literature give the primary pseudonym under which the following authors wrote and the third choice is world government identify the current leaders of the following nations teams you have one minute to decide okay we're going to go back while they're picking their category to lauren and bill thanks yeah the match is taking off and we've made it to the lightning round bill tell us what we can expect on this round well at this point a lot of people would think okay game's over lake hamilton's way behind however in the 62nd round lake hamilton could run this round you have 10 questions you're going to answer those 10 questions in 60 seconds if you're successful in answering all 10 and this is a collaborative effort so all of the team members will be involved the captain will be given the answers they're going to get a 20-point bonus that's 120 points so there's a possibility that this game could flip and i've seen this happen in the past the other thing i'd like to mention is watching this game this has been beautiful because russellville is exhibiting knowledge of width not only depth but width when they answered those questions on the artworks those were rather obscure artworks and they just fired away they have got a wide range of knowledge they are more than prepared we might not have mentioned it at other at the beginning but russellville is nearly all seniors so lake hamilton's got their work cut out for him but is it over no not a chance lake hamilton could come back all right thank you it's a nail biter it could be it looks like the students have made their decisions so let's go back to our quiz master steve well welcome back here to the studio and um let's see lake hamilton will what category did y'all pick uh we're thinking africa yeah and we're seven we're seven harrison and for medicine all right since they've taken that category uh which one would you like looks like current heads of state current heads of state are you making any substitutions yes we're making sales and steve could we get clarification on if these are up to date or not um what is up today the current heads of state they are up to date as far as i'm familiar with wanted to make sure we're ready now to play our third round here in the 6a state championships this is what we call the lightning round it used to be 60 seconds long but during this covet era we simply give each team five seconds to answer each question then we move on all right so i believe will you're going to be speaking for lake hamilton okay make sure you have that mic up right by your by your mouth all right there we go all right it says given the name of a capital city name the african nation where it's located and you brought harrison in to help with this task so harrison it's nice to have you in and uh if you're ready to start we are give me a thumbs up will all right here we go cairo egypt answer egypt yes khartoum sudan yes sir sudan maphoto yes kigali answer it's rwanda it's rwanda yes answer rwanda yes kampala it's uganda you've got mr uganda yes lusaka zambia answer zambia yes uh gabarone it's uh it's uh it says it's it's it's it's botswana botswana monrovia liberia yeah liberia yes uh the one that you missed was uh umbabani which was swaziland you can challenge that we can challenge that you may do that at the end of this round you sure may all right um let's go now to russellville and uh will y'all can be preparing your challenge if you have one while they're competing just don't make a lot of noise all right red are you ready over here all right you have chosen world government identify the current leader of the following nations and to do that you brought in devin cody so dev cody it's good to have you both into the game for this uh lightning round if you all are ready we are all right here we go uh the chancellor of germany answer merkel yes president and general secretary of china answer xi jinping yes president of canada trudeau answer trudeau yes president of france macron answer macron yes president of mexico obrador obrador yeah sure answer obrador yes uh president of russia putin putin answer putin yes president of south korea what's her name i don't i don't just give me like park or something or candy lee answer lee no um prime minister of israel yahoo answer netanyahu yes prime minister of the united kingdom boris johnson johnson answer johnson yes chairman of kwp in north korea yes well i have down that you got uh nine right just like uh like hamilton did for a total of 90 points and let's see if that challenge is materializing over here well are we still challenging could we get to know who you missed i think so all right then we're going to have a challenge presented to our judges and we'll take a short break while they make this challenge all right it looks like we've got a challenge bill what can you tell us okay well one thing i tell you this is real big for lake hamilton because this is not only for just 10 points if they win this challenge it's going to mean they ran that 10 question and they will get 20 points more so what they're fighting for is 30 points here and a lot of times when you're dealing with its pronunciation you might be dealing with or it may be that you may have two different capitals like if you have south africa you may have two different capitals that you're mentioning there so there's probably now there's probably some grounds here but what you don't see now is there is a concerted effort of producing material that will back up their challenge you can't just go up to the judges and say no that's not wrong i know that i teach history or i teach geometry that won't work you have to have written proof you have to have something solid you can't even take a laptop up there and say look at this this is what they say because the source may not be that well so you have to be very careful and you have to be prepared this involves a lot of students that i used to call quiz masters that they're never in front of the camera they're over here by where the coaches are and they're doing research there'll be books and different laptops and things and they're going through there and they're saying no no no no challenge that challenge that and the coach may have not even caught it i mean i taught math i didn't teach english so a lot of times my quiz masters would tell me things about english that i wouldn't know and then the coach goes up and challenges that that's what we're facing but this is a 30-point flip for lake hamilton this is big this is important yeah thanks yeah truly a team effort all right i think the quiz master will be letting us know more about the challenge let's listen in well welcome back after our challenge uh by lake hamilton over the idea of swaziland swaziland still exists as a country but they've actually now renamed themselves the kingdom of iswata swatini and that was the answer given by lake hamilton so they really have two names they go by and since they had the one then we're going to give them their 10 points and then we're going to give them an extra 20 point bonus so another 30 points added on to lake hamilton's score so it was a good challenge those are the kind of challenges we like to see where they make the kids [Music] well we don't want them fighting for their points but we want them to understand that our answers are not necessarily the only correct answers that we have up here well we are glad to see you back and russellville made some changes in their lineup angel i see that you're in with us down on the end good to have you and then tawny is in tony good to have you in for russellville and then i believe everyone else is the same harrison staying in for for lake hamilton all right uh 305 to 160. there are 200 points up for grabs in this last round 20 10 point toss-ups so anything is possible and we're going to give our best to both of these teams as we go into the final round of the 6a state championship all right teams do you have your hands on your buzzers ready to go all right here we go in this novel a psychiatrist utters the notorious phrase a man would be crazy to fly more missions insane if all right russellville

remarkably like our old state champion 445 so they are 6a state champions for this year thanks steve yeah that was a great match congratulations to russellville bill you've been around a lot what are your thoughts on this match uh one thing i would say real quick is that russellville has made a statement and i think this is five years in a row that they have won the state championship so that is quite a statement however let's not take anything from lake hamilton either it is not very often that a team can run the 62nd round we'll have seven state championship matches and you might get two teams during that competition that runs the 62nd round and they just did it now they had to challenge to get it done but they did it and that's a statement in itself both of these teams will probably be back next year if russellville can reload remember we said their team were seniors let's see how they can do that all right sounds like a challenge thanks bill and let's go back to the university of central arkansas for the awards presentation carolyn and now we're at the end of the 6a game and we need to tell you about who the all tournament players are first we have will livingston from lake
