-'''Acton-Boxborough Regional High School''' is a public high school in Acton, Massachusetts. The school's quizbowl team formed in 2012.
+'''Acton-Boxborough Regional High School''' is a public high school in Acton, Massachusetts.
 == History ==
-Acton-Boxborough attended their first quizbowl tournament, the 2012 [[MIT]] Fall, with no previous quizbowl experience. The team surprisingly finished 6-3 overall, and began actively studying and participating in quiz bowl events. The team consisted of juniors Victor Pavao, Tom Russell, Sarang Yeola, and freshman Spencer Thrope. That spring, they attended MIT's MITBAT VII, where they finished 7-5. The next year, Acton-Boxborough began by finishing 3rd overall at the 2013 MIT Fall, qualifying them for both [[NSC]] and [[HSNCT]]. This was their first tournament playing off a non-NAQT set. In the following months, membership steadily grew and they began fielding a B team of mostly sophomores. They would finish at or near the top at several Northeast circuit tournaments, but finished 67th overall at PACE.

-The 2014-2015 year had an inconsistent start. Josh Xiong, a senior with no previous quizbowl experience, joined in the fall and propelled the team to a 3rd place finish at Lexington's Invitational and 4th at HSAPQ states. At HSNCT, they went 4-6 and placed 169th. The following year the team had inconsistent membership and performance; they did not qualify for any national tournaments.
+In 2015, a brand new roster of players led by Josh Xiong finished 4-6 at [[HSNCT|2015 HSNCT]]. At HSNCT, they went 4-6 and placed 169th.

At the 2019 [[HSNCT]], a team led by the Sousounis brothers tied for 97th.
-In 2016, a wave of new players, including Prat Hegde, Sky Li, and Caleb Trotz, led the A team in the 2017-2018 season. They finished in 2nd at 2017 MIT Fall, but had tough performances at [[HFT]] and [[Lexington]]'s LIIMIT. However, due to consistent studying and practice, they had a great performance at 2018 HSNCT. Several players had stunning individual performances. A recording of the devastating loss to McLean can be heard [[here|https://s3.amazonaws.com/naqt-static/podcasts/2018-hsnct/17.mp3]].
