Scholastic Games of Lorain County-09-QF2-Amherst Steele vs. Black River
“Scholastic Games,” is weekly high school quiz program featuring the schools of Lorain County, Ohio, in the heart of mid-America. It is produced from January through May of each year. This ninth program of our 35th season is our SECOND QUARTERFINAL. Even as two postponed first-round competitions have yet to take place, the scores of this week’s teams, like last week’s were sufficiently high to qualify them for quarterfinals, so joining Vermilion High School as the second of our four semfinalist schools will be one of today’s high school teams, one from Marion L. Steele High School in Amherst, Ohio, and the second from the district the stems from Sullivan, Ohio, to the southwest corner of Lorain county, Black River High School. The Amherst team consists of Nathan Stewart, Tony Davis, and team captain Aiden Workman, who won the program’s “Standout Scholar Award” in his first appearance on the program. From Black River, the team members are Josh Adkins, Stryker Charlton, and team captain Nick Obarski. Black River’s team is unique in that it lost in its first competition, to an outstanding team from Avon, Ohio, but its losing score of 300 was higher than most of our winning scores, earning it a “wildcard” slot in the quarterfinals. In fact, its losing score was slightly higher than the winning score of its quarterfinal opponent. (Weeks ago, Amherst defeated Avon Lake 280 to 180!) Their similar performances earlier virtually guarantee a competitive program.
