Combining brain power and teamwork, the Sullivan High School Scholastic Bowl Team’s competitive season comes to a successful end. Scholastic Bowl is a fast-paced, quiz-based competition where teams of five students from different schools compete by answering trivia questions on a variety of academic subjects. The team that correctly answers a toss-up gets control of the bonus set. There are 24 toss-ups in each match, and each bonus set has three questions. All correct answers are worth 10 points. 

In conference matches, the Varsity’s record was 11-1, and the JV’s record was 7-3. The Varsity team placed at every tournament, earning third place at the Turnabout Tournament and the Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl. They had a second-place finish in the Lincoln Prairie Conference, losing to Cumberland. During the Regional Championship against Marshall, Sullivan was down by 110 points at the half, but made a comeback to win Regionals with a final score of 380-330. At Sectionals, they won against Dieterich and Cisne but lost to Cumberland.
