Posted by John Neville on Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Ada First Presbyterian’s Bible Quizzers captured 4th place in national competition at Bethel College July 5-7 and Ada’s Elita Smith won the “quote-off,” an event for individuals. 

A second Ada quizzer, Jeremiah Smith, came in second in the one-on-one, another competition for individuals.

Four Ada quizzers – Will Allen, Carissa Miglin, and Elita and Jeremiah Smith – were named to the East Central District’s All-Star team.
