Scholar Bowl took a team of five to the Fair Grove Invitational on Saturday, March 7th. The Invitational was comprised of 28 teams from the Greater Southwest of Missouri. They went 6-3 in pool play coming in third in their pool, and went into the consolation bracket against Strafford in a close game that came down to the wire in the 20th Round on the tossup question. They lost, but went on to win the next two matches against Strafford B and won a rematch against Richland to finish 8-4 on the day and a 7th place in the tournament. Michael Brown received a medal for tying 7th amongst point leaders averaging 52.4 points a game in pool play and his second medal so far by placing 5th in points per game at districts at Forsyth in early February. Next tournament is at Joplin Christian Academy, March 28th.
