Tyler Murray isn’t normally much of a morning person, he says. But on Saturday, he was wide awake early, ready to be tested on his knowledge of a variety of topics, including the Civil War.
With no cheats, peeks, copies or saves to bail them out, Murray, his teammates from Stockdale High and students from 17 other Kern County high schools fired away at questions and wrote essays about music, art, literature, social science, math, economics and finally, in the marquee oral Super Quiz competition, the Civil War.
In the end, it was defending champion Stockdale, paced by Laura Stearns, that recorded seven individual category wins, emerging as the winner of the 28th Kern County Academic Decathlon held at Bakersfield College.
Stockdale High will represent Kern County in the California Academic Decathlon March 7-10 in Sacramento. The state winner advances to the national finals April 30-May 3 in Garden Grove.
The victory did not come without intense pressure from the Arvin, Cesar Chavez and Bakersfield highs — particularly during the afternoon’s nerve-wracking Civil War-themed session during which Stockdale rallied late with its Honors team to forge a tie for the oral Super Quiz championship with Arvin.
Stockdale and Arvin will share the coveted Milo Hall award designating the winner of the Super Quiz competition.
“I appreciate the opportunities Arvin gives its students,” said senior Estephani Garcia, delighted that her Arvin team will share the Hall award with Stockdale. “We mostly come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and to have the opportunity to compete and show that we can be as good as anybody is an honor in itself.”
Arvin finished fourth overall. Cesar Chavez, last year’s runner-up, was third and BHS, third in the Super Quiz, was second overall.
The morning session tested students’ general knowledge, but from 2 to 3:30 p.m. it was all Civil War, all the time. Students faced 30 questions in all, asked in rapid fashion and in front of family, teachers and friends.
Each school had nine members, divided into three three-member divisions — Varsity, Scholastic, and Honors. With all the schools lumped together in the Gil Bishop Center gym, each division took a turn fielding 10 questions each.
By the time the Honors teams were facing question No. 10 — the 30th and last overall — Stockdale led Arvin by one point.
But three Arvin students to two for Stockdale knew the answer to what Confederate Gen. George Pickett believed to be the reason why the Confederates lost the Battle of Gettysburg — Pickett remarked that he “always thought the Yankees had something to do with it.”
The Arvin team was ready for it, even though it was not a specific question it prepared for.
“That was something we had made fun of when we were preparing — of course he would say the Yankees had something to do with it,” Garcia said.
Murray said he knew the answer as well, but facing his first Super Quiz competition, was surprised by how challenging it was.
“The oral, it was pretty intense,” he said. “Everybody’s looking at you and the questions are coming at you left and right.”
Stearns and the next six highest finishers from Kern County will be honored on March 11 in Sacramento with the first ever Governor’s Academic Recognition Award.
The others in order of finish were Melissa Couch, Johnathan Shih and Michael Brown from Stockdale High, Jordan Goh and Grant Paulson from Bakersfield High and Stephen Wight, Stockdale.
