The program emphasizes quick recall of factual material in all major disciplines — math, science, social studies, language arts, and fine arts — and a few questions about current events, movies and TV, sports and South Texas people, places and events. Contestants try to answer questions more quickly than members of the opposite team.
The winning school will take home the Challenge Cup to be displayed in their school trophy case – plus bragging rights of being the very “best and brightest” in the South Texas. Scholarships for college are awarded to members of the top four schools.
Challenge will also recognize outstanding players by inviting them to participate in an All Star game. Participants for this game are selected on an individual basis, but still represent their schools. All players in the All Star game will be rewarded for their selection and participation with scholarships and prizes.
A huge thanks to Heather Barlow for sponsoring this dynamic team!
