Update: Dawson's Nevada Science Bowl Teams

The Dawson Middle School teams gave it their best effort at Saturday's Nevada Science Bowl competition at The Henderson International School. Dawson Science Bowl Team Captain Chris Estrella has this update:

The Dawson Blue Team consisted of Nick Oliveri, Ari Trueba, Katie Wang, Ian Walton, and Megan Reynolds. They won their first match but lost their next two matches against Hyde Park and Meadows, respectively, eliminating Dawson Blue from the tournament. 
 
The Dawson Green Team consisted of Aria Khiabani, Miranda Derossi, Adam Esrig, Kyle Constantian, and Katie Resnick. Dawson Green went 2-1 in the morning matches, only losing to The Meadows School (TMS). They advanced to the afternoon rounds, eliminating Thurman White Middle School and TMS Orange Team. The 4-1 record qualified them for the final four! The final four teams were TMS, Dawson Green, and two teams from Hyde Park. After a strong first half, Dawson Green were up 48-30 against TMS. TMS stormed ahead in the second half, defeating Dawson Green 52-70.

We're proud to announce that Dawson Green's fourth-place finish earned a trophy and a $250 check. The money will be donated to Dawson's math and science department. 
 
We are extremely proud of both teams and their hard work. On behalf of the coaching staff and students, thank you for all the support! We'd like to especially thank Mrs. Freeman, who attended the competition on Saturday in support of our students. This is only our second year of competing and we look forward to competing again next year!
