With the first half of the 2014-15 Quizbowl season having finished on December 13, here's a brief recap of the last three months, and a preview of the San Diego Academic League, which begins in January.

Quizbowl Results:

The current LJHS A Team (Erica Liu, Vincent Doehr, James Malouf, Charlie Mann/Thomas Garcia) has shown itself to be very strong this year, not finishing below 3rd at any tournament, and taking 1st at the first round of the San Diego History Bowl. The team has qualified for both HSNCT and the NHBB, the respective national finals for NAQT and History Bowl, as well as PACE Nationals. La Jolla A is currently ranked 18th by hsqbrank.com as of November 19.
