Marjory Stoneman Douglas and Coral Springs High School Square Off in School Duel

By: Chris Brunner

Last week, academic quiz show School Duel featured competitors Coral Springs High School and Marjory Stoneman Douglas to battle it out for prizes along with bragging rights.

Originally airing on BECON-TV, School Duel is a 19-show series featuring 20 high school teams from Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties. The four-person teams compete in a single elimination tournament to determine the South Florida academic champion. Over 55 high schools in the area competed in an online test to be part of the show, and the top 20 schools made it to the “televised” rounds.

The Coral Springs High School is: Nevin, Sabastian, Sophie and Szilard. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas team is: Ariana, Carson, Elijah and Kevin.

The players on the winning and runner-up teams receive prizes from the sponsors, including a $1,000 check for each winning student from BrightStar Credit Union and Chick-fil-A along with a championship trophy from EDCO Awards and Specialties. The winning school also receives a two-foot-tall School Duel trophy to display at their school.
