Team Faculty Wins 'Trivia Night'

        SMYRNA -- Back by popular demand this semester was "Trivia Night," hosted by the Motlow Smyrna History Club. Last year’s reigning champs, Stephen King’s I.T. (our wonderful IT crew), was not there to defend their crowns, so when the night started, everyone knew there would be a new team to win the bragging rights.

This year, eight teams participated, including six student teams made up of four to six members each and overseen by Professor Liala Syler. The competitors were rounded out by Team Faculty made up of professors Kate Benson, Nathan Fisher, Tamara Jones, and Adjunct/Librarian Extraordinaire Paige Hendrickson, as well as Team Doughnuts manned by the members of Diamond Doughnuts, our evening food vendor.



Several grueling rounds of questions came from all sorts of categories such as math, biology, chemistry, movies and TV shows, comic books and games, and of course the dreaded history questions.

The competition was stiff, but once the last question was answered, the winner was clear -- the Fall 2018 bragging rights go to Team Faculty!

If you think you have the chops to defeat them, History Club is planning the next "Trivia Night" for Spring 2019. Start getting your team together!

Stephen King's I.T. Wins Trivia Night



         SMYRNA -- History Club’s "Trivia Night" was a splashing success! Open to students, faculty, and staff, teams competed for the right to show that they were the overall random knowledge leaders of Motlow Smyrna. Questions came from categories such as general knowledge, entertainment, science, technology, and of course… history. 

         And the winners were
         * First Place - Stephen King’s I. T.
         * Second Place - SEAM Club
         * Third Place - Team Austin
         In addition to the trivia contest, History Club also hosted a pizza and drink concession stand. Proceeds from the concession stand will go to support upcoming History Club events such as our trip to the Parthenon and an Angel Tree child.
         Thanks to everyone who supported this History Club event. If you didn’t get to participate this time, never fear! We have plans to host another "Trivia Night" during the Spring Semester. Start building your teams, watching "Jeopardy" to prep, and see if you can dethrone Stephen King’s I.T.
