TRUSSVILLE — Hewitt-Trussville High (HTHS) School Varsity Scholar’s Bowl breaks new records.
When the HTHS Varsity Scholar’s Bowl team heads to the National Academic Quiz Tournament in Atlanta in May, they’ll do so as a record-breaking team.
Not only are they the highest-scoring team in school history, but they’re also all-girls – a rarity in the male-dominated world of academic trivia competitions.
Coach and history teacher Josh Haynes didn’t set out to create a team that would shatter gender conventions, but he said other coaches and match moderators often comment their surprise at seeing an all-female team. See more on this history-making HTHS Scholars Bowl team.
