For the tiebreaker, challenging questions would be given to the competing teams until one misses and the other is correct.<\/p>\n

The graffiti question was the second question in this round, after a question about the solar system.<\/p>\n

Hopwood Junior High School claimed third place, after SIS.<\/p>\n

MCS, SIS, and Hopwood were the last three teams standing in last Saturday\u2019s competition, held at Saipan Southern High School.<\/p>\n

Schools competed and were eliminated through several rounds. Questions on social studies, science, math, or English, for example, got more difficult with each round.<\/p>\n

The winning MCS team was made up of Jan Bobadilla, Alyssa Attao, Dayna Macaranas, Hyo Lim Cho, and Aldwin Batusin.<\/p>\n

Eric Kiser, Michael Lee, Ruth Park, Alex Park, and A.J. Hudkins represented SIS.<\/p>\n

Natalie Montano, Joseph Yanto, Michael Alovera, A.J. Samonte, and Limbert Guiao represented Hopwood.<\/p>\n

Other competitors were Agape Christian School, San Antonio Middle School, Marianas Baptist Academy, Chacha Oceanview Junior High School, Grace Christian Academy, and Dandan Middle School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
