 In [[1995 Edmond Memorial|1995]], under coach Valerie Benton, Memorial defeated [[Booker T. Washington]] to win their second OSSAA 5A title, and went on to attend their first [[ASCN]] [[Tournament of Champions]], which [[1995 TOC|they won]] over defending champions [[James Island]]. They would repeat both titles in 1996, defeating [[Thomas Jefferson (VA)]] in the [[1996 TOC|TOC]] finals. They would continue to attend every TOC until 2003, achieving a best finish of fourth.
-Memorial attended their first [[good quizbowl]] tournament by competing in the [[1999 HSNCT]], at which they placed fourth. In 2001, coach [[Greg Oppel]] co-founded the [[Oklahoma Quiz Bowl Alliance]], alongside [[Eric Bell]]. In 2002, they won both their first [[NAQT Oklahoma State Championship]] and their most recent OSSAA title, becoming the first (and thus far only) team to win both titles in the same year. They repeated their NAQT title the following year, and would go on to claim a third in 2009.

 Oppel stepped away from coaching following the departure of star player [[Finn Bender]], in 2015, after which leadership was taken over by Jordan Gotcher. Memorial would remain a local powerhouse, claiming the 2018 NAQT State title and finishing second in 2020. Oppel returned to coaching following Gotcher's departure in 2022.
