"How good will the A-TECH Mavericks be during the 2024-2025 competition season? Even the Mavericks themselves don’t know yet, but we are excited to compete and test ourselves against the best HS players that LVQBA has to offer. An expanded program has added a second team (and second coach), so the Mavericks will be showing up in force on Saturdays this year. A-TECH A is a group of talented freshmen and sophomores who are new to the NAQT format but have been bitten by the trivia bug and are eager to compete and get experience this year. Freshmen Caleb Cordon, Clayton Mote, and Ruben Salazar-Perez will be looking to utilize their JVQ experience to lead A-TECH A to some competitive matches this year where the motto will be 'Always Be Improving'. As for A-TECH B, the question everyone is asking is 'Just how good will this team be?' With a core of seniors Callum Maffey and Carlo Allietti as well as junior William Guild, A-TECH B is bringing back some experienced quiz bowl players who led their team to a top 5 finish last season. While it’s never an easy thing to replace strong graduating seniors like Anushka Phen and Shivaansh Singh, A-TECH has done its best by adding sophomore Raagavi Mohan Kumar and freshmen Mark Argento and Tryston Thomas. Argento and Thomas were teammates on Somerset Lone Mountain middle school’s national championship qualifying team last season, so they both bring big game experience which will be helpful as they adjust to the more difficult high school quiz bowl questions." |
