The 2019 Bay Scallop Bowl has come and gone and a new winner has emerged from the dust – Hunter College High School! Round 9 had Midwood High School pitted against the Mighty Mustangs of Mount Sinai High School. Mount Sinai emerged the winner of that round with a score of 61 to 24, letting Midwood take third place. Round 10 began with Hunter College having no losses and Mount Sinai having one loss meaning Mount Sinai needed to win the match in order to stay in the game. Hunter College was strong all day and this continued through round 10. They won the match 46 to 24 and will be traveling to Washington, DC in April to compete at the National Ocean Sciences Bowl Finals.

This was SoMAS Dean Paul Shepson‘s first Bay Scallop Bowl, and he arrived ready to deliver his opening remarks with a bounty of marine-related puns. Legendary orator Bill Wise returned once again to explain the rules of the game and help serve judgement and sage advice in bowl central.
The true stars were Kim Knoll and her right hand Kaitlin Willig. This event would not have come together without their planning, leadership and execution!
Photos from the event are available on Google Photos and were taken by Joe Dlhopolsky, Tom Wilson, Sharon Pochron, Maria Grima and Mark Lang. Share your photos on Instagram or Facebook and tag @somas.sbu or use #BayScallopBowl!
