Last Thursday on February 5th the Young Highland Highschool Quiz Bowl Squad traveled to Macon to play a.J.V. and Varsity double header. Both games were very competitive and seesaw affairs and we did lose the J.V. match by the score of 150-130 in the closing moments but we rebounded nicely in the Varsity Game, we were behind by 10 going into the last question and won by 10, 190 to 180 for our 2nd Varsity win. Go Cougars!!!

The sewer line at Highland has been repaired and school will be in session tomorrow, Monday (2/9/26).
