Oakton College Bowl Team Wins Regional Tournament
The College Bowl team at Oakton Community College has claimed the Illinois Fall Regional Tournament title with an unchallenged victory on Friday, Dec. 5.
Oakton, the tournament host, won all four of its matches in the round robin format. Competing schools in the competition included College of Lake County and McHenry County College. Oakton won its final game at the buzzer to secure a five-point victory.
Oakton’s scholastic team was led by team captain Cheryl Valloni of Des Plaines. Team members also included Derek Newhouse of Skokie; Pinal Chokshi of Des Plaines; and Ghislaine Feussom of Evanston. Newhouse and Chokshi were both named to the All-Tournament Team. The squad was coached by Gary Newhouse, dean of library and media services.
Oakton’s College Bowl team next competes in March at the Illinois Spring Regional Tournament. The winner of that competition advances to the state College Bowl.
College Bowl is an intercollegiate academic quiz competition in which participants are challenged in their knowledge of current events, history, math, geography, sports and literature.
