ELLISVILLE \u2013 Since the inception of the 糖心直播 Bobcat Math League, the format, teams or rules have changed in some way.\u00a0 However, to find success, it appears mathletes are using Heisman Trophy winner, Super Bowl MVP, and former Dallas Cowboy quarterback, Roger Staubach\u2019s quote to heart; \u201cIn any team sport, the best teams have consistency and chemistry.\u201d \u00a0No one can doubt this week that Sacred Heart found its \u201cgroove\u201d by applying Staubach\u2019s wisdom as they continue to dominate the Technology Division and the cumulative point\u2019s standings with 142. Also, little has changed in the division rankings, except in the Science Division where West Jones remains at the top of the heap despite having the week off.<\/p>\n
The Mustangs of West Jones remain as division leaders because of the 44 cumulative points the team earned in the first week. Surprisingly, Northeast Jones tumbles down the division ranks to fourth place after a heated battle with the Laurel Tornadoes even though they have 73 cumulative points. In the Tornadoes\u2019 first week of competition they \u201ctore-up\u201d the Tigers, 39-33 and land in second place in the division.\u00a0 Presbyterian Christian keeps its third-place division ranking with 85 cumulative points after stomping on the Raleigh Lions, 45 to 13. Last week\u2019s tie between PCS and Northeast Jones prevents both teams from moving up the division ranks regardless of points.<\/p>\n
Sacred Heart\u2019s, 65 to 12 pummeling of the Bulldogs of Perry Central, secures the Crusaders first place division ranking while the Bulldogs continue to search for a break in the competition in fourth place. The clash of the Academies turned into a \u201ccat fight\u201d between the Columbia Academy Cougars and the Wayne Academy Jaguars. With a three-point lead, the Cougars snatched the win away from the Jaguars, 36 to 33 with Columbia Academy remaining in second place in the Technology Division.<\/p>\n
Engineering Division leaders, the Wayne County War Eagles earned the victory against the Quitman Panthers and end the week with the second most cumulative points with 136. The Panthers could only garner 15 points from the War Eagles as Wayne County decisively wins its match. \u00a0Heidelberg\u2019s Oilers sprung a leak while hosting the Oak Grove Warriors, ending in a decisive win for the Warriors, 52 to 16.<\/p>\n
Topping the list of the Most Outstanding Players is Sacred Heart\u2019s Benjamin Dunn with a 75 percent accuracy average this week, after a three-way tie for first in the first week of competition. Second place MOP honors go to both Maxwell Dobbs of Laurel and Mathew Morgan of Presbyterian Christian with a 70 percent accuracy average.\u00a0 Wayne County\u2019s Joshua Curry\u2019s 65 percent accuracy average earned him third place with four people tied for fifth place with a 60 percent average.<\/p>\n
Next week, only four of the thirteen high schools will see action. West Jones will host Laurel and Raleigh hosts Northeast Jones as the other schools observe Fall Break. Even though there is a break in the action, each of the teams in the Science Division has the opportunity to distance themselves from the third-place PCS team by earning more points as the Bobcats enjoy the week off.<\/p>\n
