MATHCOUNTS
Scholastic Bowl Team
The Scholastic Bowl has won nine 1st place state titles since 2004. This was a unique year for Daniel Wright students and certainly for the DW Scholastic Bowl team. Our 19 team members have been studying, scrimmaging, and building team unity all while on Zoom. Daniel Wright captured first place in the Patriot Consortium in early April and progressed to the Middle School National Championship Tournament (MSNCT). In the National Tournament they competed with a competitive field of 112 schools. Although Daniel Wright did not make the final playoff round, they competed in a consolation round of 70 teams with impressive results. We are so proud of our team’s demonstration of maturity, unwavering sportsmanship, mastery of subject material, and building team camaraderie without ever being together in person. Mrs. Jan Lamberti and Mr. Matthew Clark coached the team.
