Strake Jesuit are your 2025 #pacensc Champions! They defeated Lexington 440-220 to give them their first championship

Lexington is down 260-220 to Strake Jesuit at the three-quarters mark, partially due to them having 5 incorrect buzzes this game. Even though there are no negs at #pacensc, it still hurts to lock oneself out of a tossup

Regardless of how well Lexington does in the finals, they will shatter the record for best finish by a JV team. The prior best result by a team of all sophomores or younger was 19th, set last year by Thomas Jefferson D #pacensc #quizbowl

Both teams conference after Lexington calls timeout. They trail Strake Jesuit 180-70 after 8 tossups in the #pacensc finals
