Oakton College Bowl Team Wins Conference
The College Bowl team at Oakton Community College has captured the Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference championship for the seventh time in nine years.
Led by Cheryl Valloni of Des Plaines, the Oakton team won six of seven matches held at Elgin Community College on Friday, Oct. 17. Team members also included Pourya (Peter) Assem of Northbrook, Pinal Chokshi of Des Plaines, and Derek Newhouse of Skokie, the tourney’s highest scorer. Newhouse and Chokshi also were named to the All-Region Team.
“Our team demonstrated an amazing command in all academic areas,” said Gary Newhouse, dean of library and media services and team coach. “We’re very proud of them.”
Also competing were College of Lake County, Elgin Community College, McHenry County College, Morton College, Moraine Valley Community College, Prairie State College, and Waubonsee Community College.
Oakton is slated to host a regional College Bowl tournament in December.
