The Game: Though low-scoring, the contest was close and certainly in contention until the end. Neither team was proficient with bonuses (St. Agnes 2 for 9, Craigmont 0 for 9) but made up for it with efficient toss-up answering in the first two rounds. The Lightning Round saw more missed questions, but certainly Craigmont was playing catch up and feeling the need to buzz in even when they didn’t know the answer.
St. Agnes advances to play the winner of St. Mary’s/Munford.
For the Record: I picked St. Agnes over Ripley, who was originally slated for this game instead of Craigmont.
