Fun season for Riverside Academic teams

Riverside High School’s academic teams have had a fun season thus far, according to coach Stuart DesRosier.
“This month the team went to Thermopolis on the Fourth of December to compete and then turned around and participated in the Bighorn Basin Knowledge Bowl graciously hosted by Mr. Jonathan Caufman in Greybull.”
Riverside sent two teams: one team made up of  juniors Lane Owen, Jon Mendenhall, freshman Paul Stone and Hailey Scott, the other of freshman Dawson Scott, sophomores Ben Mendenhall and Andrew Sawyer and first-time competitor junior Falcon Dannar.
Both teams finished in the middle of the running, but DesRosier was very pleased especially with the younger team as all members were active in answering the questions.
The event consisted of four rounds of toss-up questions with categories from fine art, chemistry, history, advanced mathematics, classical music, and literature as well as current events.
The next scheduled competition is Jan. 6 at the Northwest College campus in Powell.
