New Trier Scholars Win State

Tribune:

For the first time in its history, New Trier Township High School on Saturday won the Illinois High School Association's Scholastic Bowl.

After defeating three teams at the daylong competition in Peoria, New Trier beat Wheaton North High School for the championship, 325-218.

Co-coach David Reinstein, a New Trier math teacher, said the Winnetka school had finished second once before and third several times.

"We worked hard, and it paid off," Reinstein said. "Every group of students is unique. This year we had a great group that loves to learn."

(It's not bragging if you can do it:) Sounds like math had something to do with it.
