Matches Produce Change in Leaders...
Following weather delays, the second round of the Firelands Challenge Program finished on Monday. The match results produced some major changes in the top five team standings.
Norwalk continues to hold the number one position, but Danbury, that previously held the number two spot, dropped out of the top five. Huron moved up from the four position and took over as the number two team.
St. Mary Central Catholic joined the top five in the number three position and Perkins joined as number four. Edison held onto its number five spot. Port Clinton dropped two positions and joined Edison with the same cumulative score.
Huron and St. Mary Central Catholic had the best scores in the second round. Each team scored 62 points.
Huron took the lead in its match with Danbury and Sandusky after the first segment of the match and never looked back. It correctly answered all of its regular team questions with the exception of the American History category.
