-In 1988, LBJ High School was invited to send a quiz bowl team to the [[TOC]] on the basis of its strong performance in that year's [[Knowledge Master Open]] (an event the school went on to win, for the first and only time, later that same year). Coached by Ed Davis and Jane Terrell, the team returned to the [[TOC]] in 1989, 1990 (reaching the quarterfinals before bowing to [[Irmo]]), 1994, 1995 (placing 41st), 1996 (placing 40th), and 2000.

 LBJ High School contained an embedded magnet program known as the Science Academy of Austin; in 2002, that program was broadened to become the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA), and in 2007 LBJ and LASA were formally reconstituted as separate schools
 sharing a single campus.

-=== Inaugural Season ===
-The Science Academy at LBJ High School had fielded a quiz bowl team for a few years in the mid-1990s.  That team attended the [[TOC]] for three consecutive years starting in 1993, but after the 1995 school year the team dissolved.  The Liberal Arts Academy and the Science Academy merged in 2002, and no team had existed in the early years of LASA.
+=== Early Years ===
 In the spring of 2007, several of the founding members of LASA Quiz Bowl read ''[[Brainiac]]'' by Ken Jennings, and Albert Bayer and [[Tyler Smith]] resolved to look for a quiz bowl tournament to enter.  Since the [[Sam Houston State University Academic Challenge|QU tournament hosted by Sam Houston State University]] had already passed, they decided to enter the 2007 TQBA State tournament instead.  Albert and Navonil Ghosh, both students in Coach Jason Flowers’s AP US History class, were discussing their upcoming tournament and their need for a faculty sponsor during class, at which point Flowers, citing his participation in both high school and college quiz bowl in Louisiana, offered to coach the team.
