Howard: 2013 Preview

HOWARD

Faculty Leadership: Mr. Facciani, Mr. Padden

Howard 2012 Recap:  Coming off a difficult 2011 competition in which Howard spent most of the week in fourth place before making a late charge to overtake Sharpe on the last day, Howard spent Monday of these games building on the momentum they started at the end of the previous year. In what is likely the best first day in HMS history, Howard won 7 events on the first day and raced out to a lead that they would not relinquish the rest of the week.  Showing off the diversity of their athleticism, Howard won events across the board, from LS Girls basketball to US Boys soccer. Meanwhile the mental capabilities of Howard led to dominance in Quiz Bowl, Sudoku, Math Team and Diplomacy. There were very few weaknesses in the 2012 Howard team, allowing the green machine to race out to a big lead and continue to lead the field for every minute of the 2012 HMS competition. As the Talent Show began, Howard had the luxury of going last due to their lead in the competition. What few students knew as the show started was that Howard had already locked up the 2012 title. This didn’t stop Howard from presenting a memorable and electrifying finale to the competition, lighting up the auditorium with a show of the team unity which had characterized their successful week. 

Team Roster:



Big Questions:   Can Howard repeat as champion for the second time in HMS history?

                            Will Howard continue to sweep the intellectual events?

                             How will Howard top last year's talent show performance?
