We've got West Frankfort with Micah, Hunter, Sophia and Emma, and on the bottom we've got Callaway County with Aiden, Ava, Maya and Aubrey.
For those of you who don't know how the game works, I have in my hand a series of toss up questions.
These I will ask to the room, and either team can buzz in for a chance to win ten points.
