Composite Trivia Listing

NOMINATE FOR MENNO LANDS MEMORIES

The July trivia contest will end on Tuesday, August 11 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. The winner gets two tickets to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle. To enter, send an e-mail to senorloco1908 (at) gmail (dot) com, with "trivia" in the subject line. (Feel free to look up the answers—it makes your score look better if you can find them.) The questions for July are as follows:

• 1. In the event of a forfeited basketball game, what is the final score?
• 2. Since their last World Series win in 1908, the Chicago Cubs have gained a reputation as lovable losers. But this has not always been the case. Who was president the last time the Cubs had a home game with attendance lower than the seating capacity of the Menno Lands? (Doubleheaders not included. Hint: The Menno Lands didn't exist, but Bethany did.)
• 3. When Argos traveled to Bethany for the de facto Northern Indiana Soccer Conference boys championship game Oct. 6, 2007, what Bruin player had his head stepped on?
• 4. Today is the day before Major League Baseball's all-star game, which means it is the day of the home run hitting contest. Who is Bethany's career leader in home runs (baseball or softball)?
• 5. Against whom did Bethany play a quadruple-overtime boys basketball game? There are two possible correct answers; either one will work. (Hint: look below the "Bleeding Bruin Blue is on Facebook" ad on the right side.)
• 6. Outside of two-time state participant Ali Hochstetler, who ran the fastest 5K time in 2008 for Bethany's cross country teams?
• 7. Of the incoming senior class, two athletes played an IHSAA-sanctioned varsity sport in the winter of their freshman year (2006-07). Name them.

Although June's contest ended almost a month ago, here are that month's questions as well.

• 1. Name the two players in Bethany baseball history with a batting average of .500 or better in a season (minimum 40 at bats).
• 2. During the 2008-09 basketball season, Seth Kauffman dunked on four different occasions. Before Kauffman, who was the last Bruin to dunk in a game?
• 3. Who has the most doubles in the history of Bethany's softball program?
• 4. Who was the first coach of Bethany's boys tennis team?
• 5. During the 1983-84 boys basketball season, one player made exactly 14 field goals in a game on three different occasions. Who was he?
• 6. How many wins does volleyball coach Lois Mast need to become the all-time winningest coach in Bethany volleyball history (by number of wins, not percentage)?
• 7. Since its inception last August, the Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week award has been given 39 times. What are the two surnames to receive the award in consecutive weeks?
