“Gulf NJROTC Wins State Championship JROTC Brain Bowl!

 

Congratulations to our NJROTC Academic Team who competed in the “2010 State Championship NJROTC Brain Bowl” hosted at Titusville High School on Saturday.  Gulf had two teams entered in the competition; fortunately at opposite ends of the bracket rounds.  In the end, there were four teams competing for the coveted title – Gulf Team 1, Gulf Team 2, Freedom and Bayside.  Two strong teams from Lake Howell, and another from Titusville were eliminated in the 2^nd and 3^rd rounds of competition, leaving the “Final Four.”   Gulf Team 2 simply CRUSHED everyone, beating the second place team (Gulf Team 1) by nearly 300 points, and the other two teams by roughly 500 points!  Team complement had to be one from each year of the Science Curriculum (a first, second, third and fourth year student).  Team 1 consisted of Aaron Heusted, Matthew Harmaz, Robert Merker and Bianca Olmo.  Team 2 consisted of Cody Boyet (aka “Gunslinger”), Brandon Harvey, Tania Gomez and Wade Scott.  Please congratulate these students as this is the first time in Gulf NJROTC’s 30-year history that a team has won this event.”
