The wins for the Quiz Bowl team don't stop there. Team advisor Elissa Manlove has been awarded the Grater Pennsylvania Quiz Bowl (GPQB) Coach of the Year!
According to GPQB:
Congratulations to Elissa Manlove of Moravian Academy for winning Coach of the Year for 2020-2021. Moravian was not expected to be one of the top teams in the state this year, but flourished under her tutelage. Both the A and B team had strong seasons where multiple players contributed and the team worked particularly well together on bonuses, showing good coaching and discipline. Finishing 5th at SSNCT and a potential HSNCT run are icing on the cake.
"I have been so impressed with the continued improvement and strong tournament finishes of the team this year," says Manlove. "The award I received is a tribute to the dedication and perseverance of the team members."
