Team History
This is LHC's second year quizzing and first at Nationals. Despite its
short BQ tenure, LHC boasts numerous former quizzers as church
members, including its senior pastor, Phil Steiger, a quizzer in the
80s and 90s and the long-time coach of the Radiant Church/Church at
Briargate team.
Most exciting match this season
At Districts, we had to win our final round of regular competition
against Church at Briargate to force a three-way tie for 1st. After a
hard-fought match, we won, only to face Briargate again in the first
round of the playoffs. Despite losing another close game, our quizzers
pulled their emotions together and went on to beat Timberline to take
2nd place. It was an excellent day of quiz.
Favorite verse from Corinthians
1 Corinthians 15:32 - If I fought
wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained?
If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we
die." We take our team name from this verse, largely because of the
way we feel the day after quizzing.
Tournaments attended this year
Southern Fried Classic
River Classic
Favorite non-quiz related moment this year
Our official mascot is Shaun Lind, the nearly 2-year-old son of our
coaches. He loves buzzing in with the quizzers, and we recorded his
first interruption and completion, largely in gibberish. In general,
coaching with a toddler presents new and exciting challenges.
What opportunities has your team had to use Bible Quiz outside of the church?
As a result of Quiz, we have had numerous opportunities to discuss the
Bible, church, and religion in general with unbelieving family
members.
