 The 2011-2012 season was the senior season of the "Original" IMSA A. During the season, they would share tournament wins with Lloyd Sy and Abid Haseeb's Rockford Auburn team as well as Loyola. IMSA would win the majority of tournaments in Illinois that year, capturing 1st place finishes in Earlybird, Wheaton North IHSSBCA Kickoffs, NTV ELEGANT, Ultima, Midwest Championship, and Wildcat in addition to placing T-3rd at ACF Fall at NIU, 3rd at Loyburn, 2nd at Auburn's Harvard Fall Mirror, T-2nd at Huskie Bowl, and 2nd at NAQT State. Auburn and IMSA would develop some sort of a rivalry, as the two teams would literally trade wins throughout the season, with Auburn ending with a slight regular season edge of 6-5. However, IMSA would defeat Auburn in an HSNCT Prelims match and a PACE top bracket playoffs match to gain the overall edge of 7-6. In terms of the Illinois State championships, IMSA would take two of the three state titles, defending their IHSA title and capturing the Masonic championship for the first time in school history. After a disappointing T-13th finish at the 2012 HSNCT (in which an Atlantic Charter/14 points hose eliminated them), they would redeem themselves by going 13-4 and capturing 4th place at the 2012 PACE NSC, tying them with 2011 Stevenson for the highest NSC finish at the time by an Illinois team.
-The 2011-12 season would also mark the rise of IMSA B as an emerging Illinois powerhouse, led by [[Maia Karpovich]] (who played as Anton Karpovich), [[Saieesh Rao]], [[Sabrina Lato]], and [[Siva Gangavarapu]]. They would capture T-21st at both the [[2012 HSNCT]] and 2012 PACE NSC. In 2012-2013, after the graduation of the Original IMSA A, they would become the new IMSA A. During the season, they would consistently finish behind [[Belvidere North]] and [[Loyola]] (although sometimes capturing victories over the other two) in Illinois regular season. However, they would capture IMSA's first ever NAQT State Championship and three-peat in IHSA, winning the 2013 IHSA State Championship. They also won tournaments such as [[Niles West Varsity]], [[Huskie Bowl]], and [[ATROPHY]] in this year.At the 2013 HSNCT, they would also top their predecessors by finishing T-5th.

 The IMSA B of 2012-2013 also played decently, although it did not continue the stellar legacy of the previous IMSA B. It had a great start winning the Wake Up Call III at Northwestern with its original lineup of [[Waleed Ali]],[[Daniel Pechi]],[[Rajiv Patel O'Connor]], and [[Daniel Collins]]. However, after that tournament it mostly placed in the middle of the pack or outside of the top bracket. This may have been due to the loss of history powerhouse Waleed Ali and Daniel Collins, who were replaced by [[Andrew Salij]] and former A team member [[Saieesh Rao]]. At the [[2013 HSNCT]], IMSA B placed T-73rd after losing its first playoff match to [[Sycamore]].

However, thanks to extensive studying by [[Pranav Sivakumar]] and contributions from [[Nathaniel Smith]], [[Shivani Sharma]], and [[Becky Mathew]], the team has had several creditable finishes this season, usually taking 3rd place. In addition to winning the IHSA State Tournament, IMSA has defeated [[Naperville North]] three times, knocking them out of all three state tournaments (with half of A team at NAQT State). IMSA is currently ranked 20th in Morlan rankings and is hoping to perform well at both nationals this year.
