Briarwood Places 2nd at Governor's Cup District Meet

The District Meet for the academic team was held on Saturday. The Briarwood team finished 2nd out of the 5 teams. The quick recall team finished third in their matches. After opening with a loss to Foundation Christian Academy, they bounced back with wins against Alvaton and Plano. This set up a rematch with FCA for a trip to the championship. Briarwood bounced back from a sluggish first half to send the match into overtime. Hayden narrowly missed winning the match on two questions. On the first he said Micheldangelo instead of just Michelangelo. On the second, he said Bill Haley and the Comets and Elvis helped pioneer rock - instead of saying rock and roll. FCA ended up winning by a single point in the overtime. Overall, Annee and Hayden did a very good job for the quick recall team. Hayden played every minute of every match at Districts and Annee played most of the time as well. In addition to quick recall, Annee took the Language Arts test and Hayden took the Math and Social Studies tests. Hayden placed 2nd on the Social Studies exam and will advance to Regionals to test again.
