Copley: so many... but Brandon Eilertson, Chris Mayer, Dennis Butcher, Bob Shott, Mike Shott, Bill Cole, Aaron [last name I forgot], Saajid Moyen, among others
I think it is very hard to compare the different eras of quiz bowl. We are toying with the idea of creating a Copley Quiz Bowl Hall of Fame at school and I think it needs to be divided into Pre-Modern and Modern Eras. I guess I would say the beginning of the modern era would be when NAQT came onto the scene.

They usually played a now-defunct OAC format tournament at Turpin High School that was considered to be the best written OAC format tournament at the time.

For GHHS, there were a lot of great players who preceded me but in that era, the team basically only played OAC events and Chipbowl nationals, so I'll not mention most of them.
John Presloid (1996-2000) - One of the very few freshmen to ever start on GHHS's A-team. Was a member of two state runner-up squads and would've been easily the best player in Ohio if not for a certain Copley stud named Brandon Eilertson. For a team that mainly played OAC, he was extremely good at dissecting pyramidal questions early. Great history and trash player.
