What is Quiz Bowl? If you just aggressively slammed on the nearest buzzer and answered, “It’s a fun club where you answer trivia questions,” then Quiz Bowl may just be the perfect place for you!

           Quiz Bowl is a club that meets Fridays from 2:15 to 3:00 in room 123. During meetings, the team practices answering questions about a variety of subjects. “It’s really not something you can study for,” stated senior Quiz Bowler Stephan Sutter.

           “All the teams from our region go to Riverhead High School and get paired off to answer questions,” Sutter explained. “Four students from each school are asked a question and the first school to buzz in gets to answer.”

           The Westhampton Beach Quiz Bowl team has done incredibly well this year, winning four out of five games, and securing a place in the final tournament.

           Quiz Bowl, coached by Mr. Mirro, is a fun club for all and all are welcome! Sometimes food is even provided! If that isn’t an incentive to join, then I don’t know what is! So come on down to the next practice! You might actually like it!
