B-G victorious in Drug Quiz Show finals

NORWICH – The final school showdown in the Rite Aid Drug Quiz Show took place Wednesday night in Norwich with the winning team going to the state finals.

Bainbridge-Guilford defeated Oxford in the final round of the regional competition, earning them first place among all other area schools and offering them a chance to compete at state-level finals.



“Nearly half of the questions presented are geared toward life skills. They’re learning how to make good choices, which is really the best thing we could hope to teach them,” said coordinator Kevin Nial.

The final four teams, Sherburne-Earlville, Oxford Academy, Bainbridge-Guilford and Greene, were competing for the county title last night at Stanford Gibson Elementary School. The event was co-sponsored by the Parent Teacher Student Association.

The winners of the Norwich Drug Quiz Show will move on to the state competition in Syracuse March 27. The group will travel to the Syracuse in luxury in a limousine thanks to the contributions of Procter & Gamble. Once there, Bainbridge-Guilford will face off against 40 other New York teams.
