BIBLE QUIZ FINALS 2010

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to give you an update on how our final quiz went. The quiz played out just like we had planned. We went against a team from Mt. Pleasant, Mi. who tend to cheat. We actually have seen them give answers to there kids and Saturday was no different. There Pastor of all people gave signals to one of the girls and told her what verse the question was from. But of course no one spoke up. Now to get to the quiz. We ended up in the final quiz as we were sure this was how it would play out and that it would come down to our team and Mt. Pleasant. Our team has alot more consistent players than theirs but they are sly and like to cheat SERIOUSLY! Anyway, one of our boys answered a question and the quiz master said correct and Levi sat back down. Well, Mt. Pleasant stood up and wanted to contest it. The quiz master said that he didn't agree with her arguement. BUT.... Marty stood up and consulted with him that it wasn't a reference question and that the answer he gave was right. The quiz master agreed but decided to throw the question out. Which was crazy. So we lost our twenty points and then they got the replacement question. The same thing happened again with a question Abbie answered. This was ridiculous!!! So we ended up losing by one question which is twenty points. Not to mention that the Pastor cheated. They also won the high points trophy for the year even though we had 4oo more points than they did?? Sounds a little fishy to me. We are not a well liked team because our kids are very good and we don't dress immodest and we take a stand. The kids memorized ICorinthians this year. It is a blessing to see the kids memorize so much scripture. Last year they memorized the book of Romans. So anyway unfortunately our kids came home with second place but we know that they actually won first. Abigail was the top quizzer out of the whole league and Megan was third so that was very exciting and most of our kids placed for a trophy in individual quizzing. This league does individual quizzing and team quizzing. One thing we like about this group is that they always have an activity and Preaching after each meet which is alot of fun for the Kids. The preacher that preached on Saturday was a missionary to India. He was great and his message was encouraging the kids to live for God now. Not to wait it was really good. We had a good time despite the circumstances and we are really happy with how well our kids did this whole year. We are looking forward to next year. We will definately dominate the league next year since two of Mt. Pleasants quizzers graduate this year. But we may be joining another group so we will have to see. I can't imagine how good our team will be by the time their all seniors. Most our team is in seventh or eighth grade. I guess thats all for now.
OH YEAH!
CONGRATULATIONS RUSSELL AND HANNAH MAYNARD!!!
