A “three-peat” is often considered the crown jewel in team achievement: To win a state title three years in a row takes accomplishment to a whole new level.It’s the exact feeling the Camas High School Knowledge Bowl Team had when they realized they’d won the state tournament again.

"It was really exciting," said Marcus Bintz, team captain. :State was a really good opportunity for us to showcase our strengths well. We're very happy."

Knowledge Bowl is a competition which quizzes students on topics relevant to their education.

"Basically, it's everything you ever learned in school if you never forgot anything," said team member Griffin King. "It's all related to school topics."
