Perham-Dent Public Schools recorded the squad’s recent competitive rhythm leading into Moorhead: PHS Knowledge Bowl wrapped up its regular season on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, facing Moorhead, Detroit Lakes, and Alexandria, schools described by the district as programs that "all compete at the AAA level for post-season." On that Feb. 6 regular-season day, Perham teams finished 18th, 16th, 11th, 10th, 9th, and one Perham team placed first overall, the winners listed by first name as Noah, Maddox, Sophia, Ewan, and Peter.

The March 4 result at Concordia reinforced Perham’s depth in small-school competition, with three teams ranking among the top seven of 27 entrants. Perham Focus credited Perham’s Team Two with the third-place result and noted the overall small-school standings at the Moorhead meet.
