Princeton<\/a> High School will host the Tiger Cup Scholastic Bowl Tournament on Saturday, with 24 high school teams competing in academic competition.
Teams from across north and central Illinois will participate in a morning round-robin schedule before moving to afternoon championship and consolation rounds, according to the school.
This year\u2019s field includes Princeton, Dunlap, Moline, Coal City, Byron, Mendota<\/a>, Sherrard, Riverdale, Pecatonica, Eureka, Canton, United Township, Kewanee, Pekin, Geneseo, La Salle<\/a>–Peru<\/a>, Erie-Prophetstown, Putnam County<\/a>, Roanoke-Benson, Sterling, Oregon, Limestone and Annawan.
\u201cThis is one of those days where the whole building is just buzzing, you\u2019ve got dozens of kids who are excited to play Scholastic Bowl, coaches reconnecting, and great matches being played all around,\u201d said Head Coach Brody Anderson. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to host a tournament that\u2019s competitive, welcoming, and a great experience for every team that makes the trip.\u201d
The tournament doubled its field from 12 to 24 teams this year, Anderson said.
Princeton won the inaugural Tiger Cup last year. Riverdale took second place, Roanoke-Benson took third and La Salle-Peru took fourth.
Scholastic bowl invitational tournaments offer more games and a wider variety of opponents than conference play, allowing students to compete outside their usual schedule.
