General Information
Fairview High School is a 9-12 public high school in rural Cullman County, Alabama. Fairview's club president is Brett Hogan. Fairview is coached by Eric Vest.
History
Fairview's first quiz bowl team was organized in 1981. The team acquired a vast amount of titles and trophies at area community college tournaments throughout the 1990s. Fairview won its ASCA district in 1993 and won a tournament at Calhoun Community College in 1994. Fairview has not competed in ASCA competitions since the end of the 1990s.
Coaches
Brenda Scott coached Fairview's first quizbowl team in 1981; the following year it was taken over by Dianne Bailey, who coached for a number of years through the 1980s. Vicki Skelley maintained a long stint as the team's coach until her retirement in May 2014.
Coaching duties were thrown on Eric Vest at the next faculty meeting in August 2014, who at first showed an extreme disinterest in the role but later became receptive to A-team captain Brett Hogan's requests to give the team more opportunities to play. Thus, Fairview rivaled Lee Henry's dominant West Point teams in the years that followed.
Tournament Attendance
Currently, Fairview is for the most part only active in the low-level Cullman County Scholar Bowl, but it has attended Snead State Scholars Bowl in 2008 and 2010.
The last time Fairview won the Cullman County Scholar Bowl was in 2008. However, the team has lately been attending most tournaments held in the immediate area due to the persistence and funding of team captain Brett Hogan.
Club Improvement and Return to Form
An extreme lack of good quizbowl ensued until from roughly the end of 2010 (which was Fairview's last Snead State Scholars Bowl attendance until 2017) until Brett Hogan became team captain around late 2015, and he convinced his coach and teammates to attend the second iteration of West Point Rainwater Invitational on 14 May 2016 as well as to begin competing at numerous tournaments outside of the county circuit, thus causing the team to improve drastically.
Brett Hogan hosted cram sessions at his house during the 2016-2017 academic year with top-scoring team members which further attributed to the team's rising force.
Tournament Results
Fairview finished in a three-way tie for 9th of 33 teams with a 4-1 record at Snead State Scholars Bowl on 28 March 2008. Players unknown.
Fairview finished 21st of 35 with a 3-2 record at Snead State Scholars Bowl on 26 March 2010. Players unknown.

Fairview finished 2nd of 6 with a 4-1 record at the 2015 Cullman County Scholar Bowl on 4 December 2015. Players were: Brett Hogan, Taylor Dover, Will Hicks, and Harley Willis. Brett Hogan was the tournament's 3rd highest scorer.
Fairview finished 14th of 16 with a 1-6 record at West Point Rainwater Invtational on 14 May 2016. Players were: Brett Hogan, Ally Grund, and Tori Hall.
