Knowledge Bowl returns to State

The Buffalo Knowledge Bowl program is returning to state this year after a successful season. In the past week, teams 1 and 2 have been competing in sub-regions and regions in Sartell. Sub-regions took place on Tuesday –  the top six teams the from that day moved on to regions.
Buffalo team 1 of Neil Gleason, Gina Filo, Jonathon Hank, Jensen Maiden and Michael Bonde finished 36 points above the second place team with 138 points and Buffalo team 2 of Justin Marchlewski, Joe Dubois, Nate Spanier, Tyler Schenk and Taylor Budde took sixth with 103.5 points.

Both teams returned to Sartell on Thursday to compete in regions. There were 18 teams in the regional competition as well – only 5 would move on to the state tournament, 2 from small school and 3 from medium/large school. Team 1 took first with 130 points and team 2 took fourth place, just 2 points shy of state. After the final round Team 2 was in third place, but with SOS (strength of scoring) points added, they were pushed into fourth.

Buffalo will be returning to the state tournament for the 8th time. Last year, Buffalo’s team 1 (Neil Gleason, Gina Filo, Jonathon Hank, Jensen Maiden and Elizabeth Logas) went to the tournament and placed 8th. State will be held April 15-16 in Brainerd.
