The thirty-second year of High School Bowl came to an exciting
conclusion Saturday evening when the Gremlins of Houghton met
the Miners of Negaunee. After all the questions were asked and
all the answers were given the clock ran out on the Negaunee
Miners. The Gremlins of Houghton emerged as the 2008 High
School Bowl Champions, their seventh HSB Championship. Houghton was led by Team Captain Kavi Pandey. Team members of the team include Emily Van Dam, Victor Pesola and Robert Suits. The Gremlins were coached by Bill Martel. Houghton defeated Pickford in round two after receiving a bye in round one. The Gremlins went on to beat Westwood in round three. Houghton won their game against Norway in the quarter-finals and defeated Sault Ste. Marie in the semi-final match, played last week. |
