A little over two weeks ago, Pleasant Plains High School senior Kameron Wolters correctly answered his 1,000th toss-up question over four years of competition in Scholastic Bowl, an Illinois High School Association-sanctioned activity.
John Barrett, one of Wolters coaches, likened it to a basketball player who scores 2,000 points or a volleyball player who totals 1,000 kills for a career.
Wolters, who reached the milestone during an online tournament, buzzed in a correct answer about Ralph Ellison s novel, Invisible Man. It was kind of ironic that my 1,000th was a literature question, Wolters said last week, because that s not typically my favorite subject or my best subject for scholastic.
Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Executive Director Craig Anderson, members of the IHSA staff, and Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) staff members met virtually with Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike, Deputy Governor Jesse Ruiz, and IDPH Chief of Staff Justin DeWitt on the evening of January 6, 2021.
“We appreciate the dialogue with state leadership and believe it is crucial that it continue moving forward,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson. “We understand that the state faces shifting priorities as it continues to fight the pandemic, while also beginning the distribution of the vaccine. There was no expectation that a single meeting would resolve all our questions. However, we believe that collaboration with state officials is vital for the IHSA to be able to develop an informed plan for the 300,000-plus student-athletes and over 800 high schools that encompass the Association.”
