The Ohio Quizbowl Forum

Here is the NE ITK league schools. They write their own questions, total 9 teams so one hosts and two play at the hosting site. It is run by Mrs. Sage @ New Albany. We are looking at joining this league or adding some of the schools to the Metro Quiz League. Bexley and Thomas Worthington are still undefeated this year.

Bexley
Bishop Watterson
St. Francis DeSales
New Albany
Pickerington North
Westerville North
Westerville South
Worthington Kilbourne
Thomas Worthington

I think it may be better if Harvest Prep finds a smaller, "gentler" league than one filled with the largest of the large, wealthy suburban schools. Not that HP shouldn't consider playing those teams anytime, they should; I just feel this NE ITK League makes it tough for them to take off as a program and get consistent while improving.

Maybe if they, the NE ITK, expand they'll consider doing divisions based on geography & proximity. It could help ease up all the existing travel headaches.

Good suggestions Tom but they are keen on hosting next year and staying in this league.

(Made the post a few months back...)

Good on them and Coach Strouse (believe I spelled his last name correctly) for showing up to a good handful of tournaments in their first year of having a program. Some schools you can't really get much participation out of, but I think if they continue doing tournaments and striving to improve, then that will negate the huge enrollment disparity (and subsequent disparity in course offerings) that might otherwise have HP behind the 8-ball when it comes to not just this league, but future circuit participation.
