MFS Defends Title in County Competition
The Friends School seeks to extend its Consumer Bowl winning streak to three at the annual competition this week.
Two-time champ Moorestown Friends School (MFS) will defend its Burlington County Consumer Bowl title this week when the competition kicks off Tuesday.
If it succeeds, MFS would become only the second team in the 14-year history of the competition to win three consecutive championships. Pemberton won in six of the first seven years, and five in a row from 2002-2006.
The other teams scheduled to compete are: Burlington County Alternative School, Burlington City, Burlington Township, Cherokee, Cinnaminson, Lenape, Palmyra, Pemberton, Rancocas Valley, Seneca and Shawnee. Rancocas Valley will be participating for the first time.
Three winners from the first and second rounds will compete at approximately noon for the county championship.
The Consumer Bowl is a game show-like competition that tests high school students’ knowledge of consumer protection, and weights and measures issues. The competition will be held in the McDaniel Integrated Learning Center at Burlington County College (601 Pemberton-Browns Mills Road, Pemberton) and is sponsored by the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs under the Office of the Attorney General.
The event begins at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. The snow date is Friday, Feb. 22, at the same place and at the same time.
