round was crucial.
Had Manassas Park not interrupted on a question about the United Nations, the match would have gone to sudden death overtime, but the Panthers prevailed by 130 to 125.
As in last week’s Mason match, the Panthers held their own in Round 1. With Williams as captain, Welch, Kreyling, and Glenn Swain, RCHS trailed by only 30 to 45, as George Mason lost points on three interruptions.
In Round 2, Taubenberger and Herbert replaced Welch and Swain and the team struggled to come up with the correct answers. On one set of questions, the Panthers mixed up the words “fodder” and “forage” giving the answer away to Mason.
On the next question, RCHS mixed up the poets Keats and Yeats, losing the point and ending the round trailing 70 to 155.
These setbacks seemed to stun the Panthers into submission, and they gave up 70 points in Round 3. Despite knowing some answers, RCHS was too slow on the buzzers. The only point in the round came from sports trivia expert Luke Wilson, who correctly identified Hank Aaron as the home run king appearing on a Wheaties box in 2002. The final score was George Mason 235, Panthers 80.
While the loss was somewhat demoralizing, the team still feels strategic adjustments can be made. The team’s challenge will be remaining sharp and improving buzzer speed between now and the next match at Clarke County High School % on Jan. 5.
