State Finals for Jr. Quizzing

Well Friday and Saturday we were gone to Jr. Bible Quizzing state finals. It was an awesome time. Our two boys that still quiz as Center team did great. I am proud of Austin Triplett and Haiden both. They did excellent for no more time than what they had to practice together. The boys quizzed at the tournament in January together, then went to the retreat in Vidor in March, and quizzed in Hilsboro in May. Then the past two weeks Austin stayed with us and between Bro. Chris and I reviewing them they had about 3 to 4 hours of quiz and review everyday. That is not very much practice as a team from January until this past weekend. However, they managed to come in 7th place out of eighteen beginner quiz teams. They knew their material well and played the best they possibly could, and now best of all they have about 160 verses from the Bible put away in there heart just from this years quizzing. Out of the top five high score individuals Haiden placed 3rd with an average of 85 points per game and a total of 340 points for all games played. Way to go boys for doing your best! Please forgive me for bragging a little bit, I don't typically like doing this, but I am very proud of these two boys for all there hard work and sticking with quizzing no matter the miles that have been between them the past two years.
