The East Categories team won their first match on Monday, Oct. 21 against Blue Valley Northwest. The game, held and filmed at the Indian Creek Technical Center, was the first game of the season.
“I was excited,” senior Brian Philipps said. “It was nice to get back into the season after offseason. It was good competition.”
Although there are approximately 10 members of the Categories team, only five compete in the actual competition. Nathan Southwick, science teacher and sponsor of the Categories team picks the five that will represent the team before each competition. For the first game, seniors Michelle Lu, Brian Philipps, Karl Walter, Kevin Xu and junior Henry Walter were chosen to represent East. Philipps was chosen as captain.
“I have worked hard for three years on the team and it’s nice to see my hard work pay off in a leadership way,” Philipps said.
The Categories team has eight more matches left in their season. You can watch the matches here.
