JBQ Praise Report:
Peewees did well and all four are now called for the Peewees finals.
Rishi, Evelyn, Sheena and Tabitha will represent as they all did well
and three of them came in the top twenty quizzers.
Yesterday's east league final and third meet. Our boys team improved their win record from 6/3 last match to 8-2 including a loss to their girl counterparts. Which meant that by average, they finished fourth in the league and automatically advanced to the NJ finals. The best of the evening was our girls team was declared the East League champions not only for their 9 wins-0 losses today but overall they were tied for the first place with the Evangel team. The head to head matches played against them was 2-1, so we are the East league champions for 2012-13 season. Considering this is our second year, this is a fantastic achievement that one team topped and the second team came fourth. All the JBQ kids finished among the top twenty individual achievers. Sanya, Williams Ivan Immanuel, Hannah and Likitha were outstanding and it was great to see that they won the respect of their competitors and affection of the coaches and officials.
