The TMP-M varsity Scholars Bowl team competed extremely well at Regionals yesterday and took 4th. Although this is one place away from qualifying for state, the team played their hardest and I am extremely proud of all of them! It has been an extraordinary season, especially as my first year as coach! I have had the amazing pleasure of watching the team grow and challenge themselves again and again! Thank you to everyone who came to support us and I look forward to the next season of TMP-M Scholars Bowl!
