Thursday 10/19/23 - DMACC Campus, Ankeny, Iowa. Iowa Knowledge Bowl - High School Competition.
Division I – Ankeny continues their dominance in the Iowa Knowledge Bowl with a commanding 15 point lead at the end of regulation. Pella managed to hold on to a 1 point lead over Des Moines Christian through 8 rounds with both teams making it into the championship round joining Ankeny. Johnston B and North Polk B rounded off the top 5 narrowly missing the finals. In the final round it was all Ankeny as they managed to accumulate 15 points out of the championship round. Des Moines Christian answered the last question correctly forcing a tie for second place and tie breaker or overtime with both teams at 11. Pella managed to hang on and win the tiebreaker, taking 2nd place, barely beating out Des Moines Christian similar to the way they have been battling each other throughout the day
Division II – Green County led the field right off the bat and maintained their lead throughout the 8 rounds of regular competition. Northview and Southview were back in 2nd and 3rd place with Anamosa A and Johnston 9th A rounding out the top five of regulation. It was a pretty tight log jam in the middle of the pack with Johnston 9th B, I-35, PCM, Coon Rapids-Bayard and Murray all separated by only a few points. Greene County looked to be a favorite going into the finals but Northview found their stride and locked in 1st place with Southview in 2nd and Greene County in a close third. All in all a great exciting day of head to head buzzer competition hosted by the DMACC Honors Program. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!
Congratulations to all teams that participated in this year's Iowa Knowledge Bowl - High School Competition and thank you to all the DMACC Pioneers that helped with the 8 different testing centers throughout the day!
Knowledge is POWER!
