Undefeated Quiz Bowl Team Goes to STATE!
Congratulations to the Allegan High School Varsity Quiz Bowl team which ended its regular season with a perfect undefeated record of 16-0 and was the winner of both RoundTable tournaments! The team, which was also named League Champs, now qualifies to compete at the State Quiz Bowl tournament on April 15-16 at Michigan State University in Lansing. As last year’s 2nd place winners, they are anxious for another shot at the State Title! Kudos to this team and their coach Amanda Boes; and best of luck at State!!!

AHS Has Talent!
Several soloists and ensembles performed in the District and State Solo & Ensemble competitions this spring, receiving many “excellent” ratings from the judges. This saxophone quartet received a Division I rating at State Solo & Ensemble and then was selected by the judges because they were one of the best ensembles judged that day to audition for the Michigan Youth Arts Festival May 13-14 at WMU! According to Director of Bands, Andrea Mack, this was the first time in over 13 years that a group from Allegan was honored in this way... Congratulations to these fine musicians!
