The Manhattan High Scholars Bowl team won their third straight Centennial League title last week after losing only a single match in all of League play. 

“It means a lot, it’s our team’s three-peat,” junior Patrick Fu said, “it shows a lot of our perseverance in these past three years.”

This year the team has moved from the west to the east where they will play teams like Washburn and Blue Valley schools in Regionals this week.

“Regionals will be a lot tougher this year. We play different teams including Topeka schools, Washburn and all the Blue Valley schools,” Fu said, “But I think if we can beat them and place top three in State this year.”

The team will only have one week to prepare for Regionals, then another week until the State tournament.

“We were centered around a lot of math and science this year so we need to prepare for more literature and fine arts,” senior Jayhun Koo said.

Last year the team placed second at State but since has seen a lot of improvement especially in the social science areas.

“This year we have a lot more capability in social science across the board like last year we mainly had Eli answering those questions but this year we have Johnny and others,” Fu said

The team will compete in Regionals this Thursday at Olathe Northwest High School.
