Neck and neck all day and our 🐉🔥 showed UP!

The PCHS Varsity Scholastic Bowl team battled it out at the Masonic Sectional at Limestone this weekend — and the matches were so close we needed a tiebreaker to take down Richwoods! 💥

The Dragons were the ONLY team to go undefeated in the morning rounds, beating Dunlap, Washington, Limestone, Richwoods and Moline to earn a spot in the championship rounds! 💪📚

We finished 4th overall with a 5–2 record — the SAME record as 2nd and 3rd place. Talk about a competitive field!

So proud of this team and the way they represented Pekin against some incredible competitors. Way to go, PEKIN DRAGONS!! 🐉❤️ #DragonPride #ScholasticBowl
