Wiz kids
representing sixteen schools
showed up at GCC today to
compete in a regional
Cerebral Shootout.
The Red Devils of
Ironwood won four matches
today before playing the
Houghton Gremlins in the
finale. Houghton the
reigning world champions of
the Wiz Kid Universe also
won four matches before
taking on the Ironwood.
The two teams scored 560
points between them today.
That's a lot of points in a
match. But, it was the Red
Devils all the way leading
from start to finish. The Re
Devils had the Gremlins on
the ropes and Gremlin Coach
called a time out late in
the game to get his champion
team steadied.
In the end it was the Wiz
Kids from Ironwood that
would come away with gold on
this day final score
Ironwood 325- Houghton 235.
