Quest at Washburn University on Saturday, Dec. 6
Team: Drew Magathan, Ryan Schlesener, Allen Simmons,

invited. We competed to see how many points we could
score. We scored 290. The top score in class 3A was
880, the low score was 200. Our score history is: 07-08 - 640
points, 06-07 - 260 points, and 05-06 - 265 points. So, I
