MARYSVILLE – Marysville-Getchell won a Round 1 Hi-Q match recently.

MG hosted Jackson and Lynnwood, and was in last place at halftime with just 15 points. Midway through the second half, however, the Chargers caught fire, claiming both the team choice and math toss-ups, and sweeping the world history category to finish with 37 points to Jackson’s 27 and Lynnwood’s 24.

Marysville-Pilchuck was third in its match with 25 points. Lake Stevens won with 40 and Archbishop Murphy had 25.

Hi-Q, which started 40 years ago and has nine Everett-area teams, challenges high school teams with questions in 13 categories, including art history, literature, chemistry and mathematics. Round 2 contests will have M-P at Lynnwood Feb. 8 and MG at Lake Stevens Feb. 11.
