Creekview High School’s Academic Team was on WSB-TV’s hit television show, High Q. High Q is a captivating question-and-answer game show that appears weekly on WSB-TV Channel 2. Each week, the unique program features scholastic competition between high school students across north Georgia. This program is hosted by famous Channel 2 Action News anchor John Bachman.
In their debut on the game show, Creekview High School’s Academic Team, consisting of Kyle Stancil (captain), Caleb Cochran, Alex O’ Connor, Beatrice Torralba, and Willie Burke (alternative), played against Alexander High School in Douglasville on November 17, but the show aired on November 28. The team answered dozens of challenging questions on a wide array of subjects including literature, math, history, science, and the arts. Questions also comprised of modern news of the day dealing with the current events making headlines each week. As the team went through multiple rounds, they never lost focus throughout the entire competition, and as a result, they beat Alexander High School! Creekview ended up with a score of 730 and Alexander with a score of 515. Therefore, they have advanced to the next round!
“Our team worked very hard with researching and actually competing against the internet by watching the High Q competition online. It made us more comfortable when we got on set since we had done this before, just in room 2205, instead of WSB studios,” stated Mr. Martin, the coach of Creekview’s Academic Team.
It was a close match throughout the entire game, with the scores seesawing back and forth, but in the end, Creekview was able to stand out and lead in scores. The Creekview team was supported by its fans; amo
ng them was Dr. Eddy, who was extremely proud of Creekview High School’s outstanding Academic Team. Because the team is moving on in the competition, their next round will be played on January 30, and will be aired later on. The winning team who goes all the way to the championship round will receive a $1000 scholarship and a trophy for each member. The second place team will receive a $500 scholarship for each member as well. Catch the show, featuring our Academic team by clicking on this link! (http://www.wsbtv.com/video/25838195/index.html)
