Hannah Stoughten In December of 2020, from the comfort of their own homes, Jacob Duriancik, Amber Earnest, and Hannah Stoughton filmed with the KDKA-TV team to produce an episode of Hometown HighQ. It was the contestants' first time appearing on the show, and each was extremely nervous to see the questions. After a rough start, the group of seniors managed to sweep the third round, scoring them bonus points – ultimately winning themselves the competition. “It was exhilarating to experience a win,” stated the trio. A win had never been clinched before by Apollo-Ridge, so another round of history was made in the 2020-2021 school year, adding to the plethora of history made in the year.
In April of 2021, the group of seniors were called back for the playoffs – unfortunately, Earnest faced the dilemma of a softball game occurring on the same day, so an alternate stepped into her place. Jeffrey Krug, another senior, filled her spot in the playoff round. They faced two challenging schools, falling in third with a solid score. The questions were significantly more difficult this time around, but the seniors found themselves answering quite a few correctly. The episodes are aired on KDKA-TV for all to watch. While the first has already been aired, the second was aired on May 1st at 11am. It was great to watch these seniors take on other schools and support our fellow Vikings!
