WGBH High School Quiz Show: Belmont High Advances to Quarterfinals

BELMONT, MA - Belmont High has advanced to the quarterfinals of High School Quiz Show, where they will face Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School this Saturday.

The Marauders will fight for a final four spot in the semi-finals, having defeated North Quincy High School in the first round of play.

High School Quiz Show is a 16-team tournament-style academic game show hosted by local TV and radio personality Billy Costa. The weekly show features four rounds of competition, with the question and answer sections varying by stage. Each high school chosen sends a team of four into the intellectual fracas, a single-elimination bracket that culminates in the state finals May 21.

The state champions will then battle the winners of Granite State Challenge, New Hampshire’s high school game show, for interstate bragging rights.

Lexington High School, Newton North High School and the Advanced Math and Science Academy have all advanced to the semi-finals.

Belmont High will take on Lincoln-Sudbury for the final slot in the next round this Saturday, April 30 at 6 p.m. on WGBH 2.
