2017 NAQT HSNCT - May 26-28 in Atlanta

Post by Jeffrey Hill »

A record 304 teams are in Atlanta this weekend for the 2017 NAQT High School National Championship Tournament, including 12 from Missouri:

De Soto
Fort Osage
Helias
Hickman
Kickapoo A & B
MICDS
North Kansas City
Park Hill South
Savannah
St. Joseph Central
Tuscumbia

The format is pretty much the same as it has been for the last several years - 10 preliminary games on Saturday (over 16 rounds), with teams 6-4 or better advancing to the double-elimination playoffs (6-4 teams are eliminated from the playoffs with only one loss).

St. Joseph Central beats Hickman by shutting them out in the second half to finish prelims 7-3 and Hickman 6-4. At the moment MICDS and Helias are 5-4. NKC lost their last game to go 5-5 but entered after lunch at 1-3 so heck of a fight!

Hickman lost their first match and MICDS should be wrapping up their second against Thomas Jefferson (VA) B for a trophy now! Good season Hickman, St. Joseph Central, and Helias! I had a great time reading for all of you this year!

Hunter wins both games of the final! And that, everyone, is why you keep playing hard until you are mathematically eliminated!
