Local Geniuses to represent school in Battle of the 'Wits'

We all reckon we’re brainy, every human does, that’s how we got things like fire and the iPhone six, but what happens when the TY year comes head-to-head with one another in an all-out battle of wits? Well, I’ll tell you dear reader, it was a tough fight- but after all the questions were asked and the points tallied up, one team stood above the rest. 

             It was the plucky “Quizzers with Attitude” that came out triumphant in the end, a ragtag team of intellectuals consisting of four very unique members, 3 of which work on this very website (We aren't even a little bit biased, we promise) - There is Luke McCourt, the resident airplane expert, Darragh Lee, the teams designated best speller with the worst handwriting, Robert Shannon, the team mascot, and the enigmatic Liam Donohoe Dunne, the cool-headed leader of the group (and your humble narrator). 

             The battle of the wits’ champions are to represent our fair ACC in the county finals sometime this coming November. Hopefully they can pull off another miracle victory!
