Quiz Bowl rematch

On Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024, teams from Rhinelander, Three Lakes, Northland Pines, Laona and Bowler competed in the 12th annual Northwoods Regional Tournament of the Finance and Investment Challenge Bowl (FICB) at Nicolet College. FICB is a statewide college bowl quiz competition that supports teachers of personal finance and economics and increases financial literacy. All FICB teams are led by teachers who help students study and prepare, as a classroom or an after-school activity. This year, in a rematch of last year’s final game, a team from Three Lakes High School came out victorious, avenging last year’s defeat at the hands of Rhinelander. Both teams will represent the Northwoods at the state championship in Madison on May 15. The Rhinelander students who participated were: Greyson Gremban, Brody Kowieski, Michael Schiek and Aiden Ostermann. The Three Lakes students who took first place were Jared Kaufman, Ian Mouw, Traeton Fogerty and Kaya Szews.
