Strake Jesuit are your 2025 #pacensc Champions! They defeated Lexington 440-220 to give them their first championship

052

Lexington is down 260-220 to Strake Jesuit at the three-quarters mark, partially due to them having 5 incorrect buzzes this game. Even though there are no negs at #pacensc, it still hurts to lock oneself out of a tossup

Regardless of how well Lexington does in the finals, they will shatter the record for best finish by a JV team. The prior best result by a team of all sophomores or younger was 19th, set last year by Thomas Jefferson D #pacensc #quizbowl

Both teams conference after Lexington calls timeout. They trail Strake Jesuit 180-70 after 8 tossups in the #pacensc finals

It's a 5-way tie at the #pacensc! Yukon A beats University of Illinois Lab in overtime to reach 3-2 and keep their playoff dreams alive

Evan Ting of Park Tudor is a 9th-grader playing solo, but he is well on his way to a #pacensc top bracket playoff appearance, sporting a 3-1 record so far and putting up 132 PPG in the process

If I had a nickel every time Walter Payton won a #pacensc game 270-260, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice in three rounds #quizbowl

Downingtown STEM is here with their two mascots, and their aid has helped them to an early 2-0 record with wins over Georgetown Day and Walton Payton B #pacensc #quizbowl

Walter Payton is here at #pacensc, Blåhaj in tow. Their shark must have given them good luck, as they won their round 1 game against Walker 270-260 in a match that went down to the final bonus part #quizbowl

University School of Nashville A's first game against Adlai E. Stevenson B went down to the final tossup, and Penelope's clutch buzz on question 20 brought them to a 340-290 victory! #PACENSC #quizbowl
