Say hello to the champions of BRITE! After defeating (but nearly losing to) South Brunswick in the semis, we went onto the finals. That match was against Hunterdon Central, and that actually took place in Madeline's on Vosseler rather than the usual Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School.
A very funny thing occured before the actual game started. Both teams arrived only to find that somehow there was no reservation made in this restaurant. Mrs. Ferreri first went in, but admitted that she was a little afraid to go and explore the somewhat desolate-looking place; admittedly, I wouldn't feel too safe doing that either. Fortunately, the higher-ups of BRITE managed to sort it all out.
Anyway, this time, one of the higher-ups of BREA read the questions this time rather than our advisors alternating. Also, they even had an official timekeeper and judges.
The game ultimately ended with our victory after maintaining a very comfortable lead throughout. When I accepted the plaque, I actually felt a little faint because I simply could not belive that this was happening. We won $2000 for our school's scholarship fund and secured our place at the National Academic Championship.
I hope that goes well at least because I actually read some weird things about NAC, especially about Chip Beall's antics. Anyway, I guess all we can do is practice the new format in hope for the best.
