Team Wins
Hurricane Bowl
Five students of Long Beach
High School in Mississippi were top winners over 15 other teams from 12
high schools in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Florida
Panhandle that competed in the Hurricane Bowl, the annual regional
ocean sciences bowl, sponsored in part by MASGC, and the first round of
the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). The event was held Feb. 9 in
Ocean Springs, Miss., at the J.L. Scott Marine Education Center. The
winning team included coach Hale Switzer, Brandon Atwell, Kasey
Schultz, Jason Kneeland, Krystal Kuhagen and Anil Acharya.
The competition included question-and-answer “buzzer” rounds, team challenge questions, educational field trips and social activities that encouraged interaction among student peers and with marine scientists. NOSB is a program of the Consortium for Oceanographic Research & Education (CORE) located in Washington, D.C., and supports 25 regional competitions across the country.
The Long Beach High School team will represent
the Central Gulf Coast Region at the National Ocean Sciences Bowl to be
held in Seward, Alaska, April 25-27, when they will compete against 24
other regional winning teams from around the United States
