The Quiz Bowl Team, without Hunter, who was sick, had a tenuous chance of winning.
And the competition today is one of their hardest teams to beat.
Porter was asked to be team Captain, temporarily, and filled Hunter's shoes impressively.
The first round they were down by one question, the second round ended being down by three. The third round ended with the score being tied, and then the lightening round began.
18 out of 20 questions, and the score was still tied.
Question 19: In 1922, in the Valley of the King's, who discovered the tomb belonging to King Tutankhamun? (Howard Carter)
Porter buzzed in with the correct answer.
Question 20: What color of flame appears when Barium is burned? (green)
Neither team answered correctly, so Porter's answer to #19 gave Fairland the win!
Go Porter!

Nice job Porter! (and get well Hunter) You both brought smiles to me this morning. Schilter's List, I'll have to watch that movie, I must have missed it somehow!!!
Ahh, funny! Congrats on the win Porter!
Hooray for Porter. I am sure if Hunter was there it would not had been such a nail biter! Congratulations for a job well done!
Ooooh, Bro. Bachland took the words right out of my mouth! hehe get well Hunter, and Stupendous job, Port! Who by the way is the most handsomest dressed young man in that snapshot. There is just something about a man wearing a white shirt & tie! Yay Fairlawn <3
Congratulations Porter on the win--good for you! I love the answer
"Schitler's list". That will go down in history. We need a nice laugh once in awhile, and Porter really brought that on. Way to go!
