The team is coached by Jay Boley, Rockie Hawley and Randy Henson. Congratulations on a strong finish last season!! Thank you to the parents, the community and the Statesman organization for supporting our team.

MJH Quiz News: We finished up a GREAT Quiz Bowl Season Thursday night at the League Championship Meet in Protection (South Central).
The JV squad finished the evening with a (10-2) record tied for first place with Spearville. Since we won over them in head-to-head competition, we took 1st place overall out of 12 teams!
The Varsity team met up with some tough competition and finished the evening with a (7-5) record. Four of the 5 matches were decided by only one question! It was definitely someone else's night. This very same Buffalo team placed 1st in Minneola one week earlier against the same 12 league teams! The determination, teamwork, and talent was something to admire in these five as they finished with a run of four wins.
It has been a wonderful privilege to work with all 15 quizzers this year. I so look forward to next season already!
