The last question was read aloud and quickly answered correctly by the Patriots, making them the official Broward County Brain Brawl champions.

Led by their captain, junior Francisco Rivera, the Patriots’ NHS Brain Brawl team won the Northern Division even though they faced some tough competition such as Stoneman Douglas. They then went on to beat the Southern region’s champions from Nova High to win the county title.

Juniors Samir Khan, Matthew Soree, Andrew Klauber, Phillip Gaddy, Francisco Rivera, and seniors Rachel Oei  and coach Vivian Ge are excited about their victory and hope to win yet again next year. The Patriots’ NHS Brain Brawl team looks to get right back to practicing, regardless of whether or not there is another competition, said their coach Ge. Khan explained that for practice, they would meet every day during lunch and that they mostly needed to “learn some more fine arts, which is our weakest area in all our competitions agains other teams.”

The Brain Brawl team is strictly business when it comes to the competition, but that does not mean they don’t have fun. ”We all enjoy the competitions and have gotten closer through them,” Khan said. The Patriot’Brain Brawl team will suffer a blow when they lose Coach Ge and Oei but look to add helpful new members who will bring a new dimension to the team and really help them in next year’s competition. While the competition is a serious matter, the already “very tight” team looks to strengthen their bond even further through fast-paced trivia, buzzer beaters, and, hopefully, more victories in the future.
