The last home match for the Tri-Point Chargers was a loss against GCMS 400-170.
One more match in Odell and the TCC Tournament on 4/22 at Prairie Central.
Tucker brought in 30 points. Grace scored 20 points and Kade and Colton each buzzed in for 10 points. The team scored 110 points together in the bonus round.
From only 60 points earned in the first half to winning 120 in the second half, these students were persistent and honed in to each question better.
Keep it up! Tournament season is the last two weeks of April!!

Tri-Point 6th graders went on an exciting field trip to Medieval Times and the Field Museum Friday! Huzzah!!🎉 They saw in person the knights and jousting that they learned about in class, and real man mummies and artifacts that are around 3,000 years old!
