Rund-Scott leads DNA in season opener.

In Quiz Bowl action this past Saturday, the Dutch Nerd Army (DNA) opened their season by competing in the Jan Rademacher Memorial tournament in White Cloud. The team ran into some tough competition, including two schools that placed at Nationals last year. Although their 3-6 records weren't what they wanted, they came away with some positives, and are looking forward to a great season. Ben Rund-Scott was the top individual scorer on the day.

The DNA will be in action again on November 16, when they host the 18th Annual Holland Fall Quiz Bowl Invitational.
