The Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) Quiz Bowl team has been readying for competition in the 13th Annual High School Quiz Show. After successfully advancing past the qualifying round with some 70 other schools, the Eagles find themselves in the Bowl’s main bracket, along with 15 other teams, all vying for the title of state champion.
MVRCS, under the direction of Coach Connor Fay, will take on Weston High School in opening round action at the end of January. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the teams will compete against each other in a virtual format. Should the Eagles prevail, they would advance to the quarterfinal round opposite the winner of North Quincy and Hopkinton. Air times – both on television and digitally – will be announced at a later date.
MVRCS’s starting four are senior Rintaro Inomata, junior Hailey Ho and sophomores Sinjini Dass and Minh Tran. Senior Son Tran acts as a student assistant coach. The team, under Fay’s direction, has met weekly after school since September 2021, busily preparing and readying for qualifying and ultimately the competition.
Produced and broadcast by WGBH, High School Quiz Show is an award-winning single-elimination academic team competition for all high school students in Massachusetts. High School Quiz Show is endorsed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education and the Massachusetts PTA.
