Students vs Teachers ACE Match
The ACE team beat the teachers with a score of 210-105.
At the end of the first set, the score was close with the teachers down by 20 points. Unfortunately, it didn’t stay that way for long.
The second set concluded with a score of 130-80.
Ms. Miranda Quarles, college and ACE team advisor, was one of four teachers on the teachers’ side. “I had hope for the teachers at first, but either way it’s a win-win, because either my team wins, or I win,” said Quarles.
In the third set, the students blew the teachers out of the water.
Mrs. Tara Stafford, biology; Quarles; Mrs. Taylor Morris, school counselor; and Mrs. Wendy Kapp, English, led the teachers’ team, while the students were led by Team Captain Samantha Woods, senior; and Tristan Hernandez, junior.
“I expected the teachers match to be tougher than it was. I think it could be that we’ve practiced these question formats and had stronger background knowledge,” said Eli Goins, junior, and ACE member.
The ACE Team currently has a record of 2-4 and will travel to Gretna this Thursday to take on William Campbell and Altavista.
