L-H Teams Win at the Blue Lobster Bowl

Three teams from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School competed Saturday, Feb. 28, at MIT at the regional tournament of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, otherwise known as the “Blue Lobster Bowl.”

The A Team, made up of five 12th graders, won third place.

“After a brilliant run of five preliminary matches, the L-S students were seeded #1 among the final eight teams going into single elimination rounds and lost a close match in the semi-finals,” said the press release. “The B and C teams performed well and gained valuable experience for next year. The tournament is the culmination of months of hard work and dedication by the students who have given up their Friday afternoons for practice as well as many hours of private study.”

After the awards ceremony, while still at MIT, the students talked excitedly about the following year, and how the seniors this spring would be preparing the younger B and C team members. B.J. Pegram, science teacher, is the faculty advisor for the team with assistance from Science Teachers Mary Brunson and Caroline Singler.
