A huge shoutout to the Morris Grade School Varsity Scholastic Bowl team for an amazing performance at the IESA AA Regional Tournament in DeKalb this past Wednesday! 🧠💡
Our team brought the heat, dominating Plano (500-120) and taking down Saratoga (350-270) to punch their ticket to the Championship Match! While they fought hard and fell just short in a tough final battle against the host team, making it to the regional championship is a massive accomplishment. 🥈👏
Mr. Ridgway and all of your families are SO proud of your success, your competitive spirit, and the incredible season you’ve had!
Way to go Braves!! 🥳📚🏆
