PINEVILLE, WV (WOAY) – On Saturday, Feb. 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., local eighth-grade students will compete in the regional West Virginia State History Bowl tournament at Pineville Middle School in Pineville, Wyoming County. Twenty-five teams from 15 schools located in Region 1 will compete in this region and are listed below.
Buzzers will buzz, teams will compare notes, and these eighth-graders will have a chance to show off their knowledge of West Virginia culture, geography, government, history, literature, and sports. The winning team and runner-up team will have the opportunity to compete at the state tournament in Charleston at the Culture Center in April.
It’s stiff competition and plenty of fun for the students, teachers, parents, and coordinators from the Department of Arts, Culture, and History. You are cordially invited to stop in any time during the day for a story about the event. Matt McGrew, History Bowl coordinator, will be available throughout the day.
