Teams compete to win prizes for
that night and for the most points over
several weeks. Gwen Holtsclaw said
the format and the contest itself keeps
many of the same people coming in
every Tuesday night and brings in new
people.
e Scrub Oaks Trebeks – Blace and
Kelly Albert – are among the newbies.
A military couple who'd previously
lived in Fayetteville, they returned
recently and are living in nearby Kings
Grant. ey heard about the trivia night
and have been coming weekly – though
they dropped their original team name,
the Team at the Bar.
"We love it," Kelly Albert said. "ey
make you feel like a community."
Scrub Oaks' long-timers include the
Already Tired Teachers, whose roster
of St. Patrick Catholic School personnel
has shied over the past five years.
e current members – two current
and two retired teachers from the
school – say they miss the priest whose
knowledge of trivia used to push them
over the top even when their team
name was Points Don't Matter.
But retired English teacher Christine
Hatcher, math teacher Melissa Miller,
retired religion teacher Deb Rosenberg
and art and computer science teacher
Jodi College keep coming back every
week because they love hanging out
with each other and trying to figure
out the answers to questions like:
What does UNESCO stand for?
Which gladiator led a revolt against
Rome in 73 BC? And name every part
of speech in the following sentence:
Consequently, men and women are
responsible for the defeat of returning
champions.
Of the detestable latter question,
Hatcher, the retired English teacher,
said: "I think I've got this."
