The Sylvan Hills Quiz Bowl team journeyed to Marion, Arkansas, on the morning of Saturday, March 7th, 2026, for the 6A East Quizbowl conference. Our SH Bears enjoyed a day of spirited competition against formidable opponents, notably Searcy and Marion. Despite the tough matchups, they achieved a decisive 100-point victory over Jacksonville.

Ultimately, Sylvan Hills Quizbowl secured an impressive 4th place ranking.
