We're with bright and early this morning with a wardrobe update! Samuel (right) from Burnsville HS, MN has dutifully worn the same shirt to HSNCT since 2024–today, his teammates Emery, Charlie, and Xavier join him. #naqt #hsnct #quizbowl

Park Tudor A's rapid rise toward the HSNCT playoffs saw them go against the one-player team from Eastchester (NY). Our photographer Sara Stawarz observed this game, which saw Maximilian Lin go 3/5/1, but ultimately concede Card 1 to Park Tudor A (IN) 425-230. #naqt #quizbowl #hsnct

Lexington, Massachusetts, as junior Shishir Bharadwaj reminds us, is the "birthplace of the Revolution," but if you ask anyone at this tournament, chances are, that you will know them as one of the most terrifying Quizbowl teams in the circuit this year. #naqt #hsnct #quizbowl 📸 and ✏️: Bobby Wang

In a game as team-oriented as quiz bowl, the most significant attention is reserved for squads that perform well as a whole. 📸 and ✏️: Brandon Roe #naqt #hsnct #quizbowl

You always hope buzzer control is a peaceful place at the start of the day, because if it’s not it means there are buzzer problems or rooms not equipped properly for the competitions day. 📸 and ✏️: Chuck Pearson #naqt #hsnct #quizbowl
