Third and Fourth Games of HS Bowl Quarterfinals
Cerebral Shootout Continues
Four teams competed Saturday evening in what were the two remaining quarter final games of the High School Bowl. High School Bowl is viewed on WMNU, local channel 13 . The two victorious teams will move on to meet last weeks winners, Houghton and Sault Ste Marie.

Saturday evening one local team Hancock competed in the HS Bowl competition. The Bull Dogs of Hancock took on the Flivvers" of Kingsford.
(A  f l i v v e r  is an automobile, especially one that is small, inexpensive and old.) The Bull Dogs are no strangers to this shoot out of academic knowledge. Hancock has won four championships winning in 1991, 1998, 1999, and 2001.

The first game of the evening was between the Flivvers of Kingsford and the Bull Dogs of Hancock. The Flivvers were obviously not impressed with Hancock's 4 previous championships and as a result the Bull Dogs will have to wait to next year as they were retired by Kingsford in a really great match and one that was closer than the score reflects. Final score Flivvers 300 Bull Dogs 215. The Flivvers were represented by Team Captain Ward Lindeman, Erin Lehnert, Derek Kruppstadt and Mike Wahoviak. Representing the Bull Dogs were Jay Woodbeck, Ryan Kent, Zak Johnson and Paul LaMontte.
