[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is from Holton's website about their win--what do others think about the way this is written?

At the September 21 taping of “It’s Academic”, Captain Kayla Moffett '14, and her teammates Megan Horey '14 and Glenda Smerin '15 sailed to a spellbinding win over Osborne Park and Park View High Schools. Their score at game’s end was 805 which set a new record for the Holton team and falls just 10 points shy of the all-time "It’s Academic" record.  [b]Osborne Park and Park View struggled to stay afloat[/b] with totals of 360 and 340 respectively.

Save the one occasion on which Osborne Park hit the buzzer in the final round, Holton did not miss a beat – or a question. To watch as they figured out the question before host Hilary Howard could finish reading it and provided one correct answer after another was truly a sight to behold. The team’s lightning fast reflexes elicited an audible laugh of incredulity from the studio audience at one point in the game as a picture of a Monarch butterfly flashed on the screen, Howard barely had uttered the words “moth and butterfly” before Holton buzzed in and Moffett confidently responded, “Lepidoptera.”

Congrats to these talented and intelligent young women who have dedicated so much of their time and energy to “It’s Academic”. Be sure to watch the show when it airs at 11 a.m. on October 19 on NBC4. [/quote]

Good Lord.  Did someone from Holton truly write that piece?  What a bunch of biotches.[/quote]

I don't care what Holton girls tell themselves in their own school newspaper. I do wonder why the heck stuff like this gets posted, with a flimsy cover of "how's the writing?", on DCUM.

Good lord, if every private school in the area starts posting blurbs about their teams' triumphs and victories over lesser schools, this forum would become completely useless. "Well Burke won a debate? I'll raise you a football victory for Field! Take that!!!!" No, please, make it stop.[/quote]
