Lapeer East Quiz Bowl Team headed for State Tournament on April 24, 25

The Lapeer East High School Quiz Bowl team is headed to the State Tournament for the third consecutive year on April 24th and 25th at Michigan State University.

Although East and Lapeer West tied for second in the Flint Metro League competition, East edged out West by a couple points in a tie-breaker . The first place Metro League team had already qualified for the State tournament through another competition so East won the right to head to the State Finals. Photos are here.
