New Trier High School is a public high school in Winnetka, Illinois. Its nickname is the Trevians (taken from the name of the medieval defenders of the German town of Trier). It currently competes as a member of the Central Suburban League (CSL). It also competes in Class AA, the "large school" division, of the Illinois High School Association's (IHSA) State Championship Series. The team is often stylized as the "New Trier High School Happy Buzzer Squadron". Past coaches include David Dickman (who started the team during the 1980s), Terry Witt, Michelle Shade (nee Karlin), and Erin Weller.
New Trier's reputation as being "the elite of the elite" carried with it the irony that despite their success, they had never won a state title in Scholastic Bowl (even for the school, Scholastic Bowl remained one of the very few IHSA organized sports or activities for which the school lacked a state title). In 2007, the pieces finally came together as the team finally earned its first IHSA State Title. New Trier has never won a Masonic State Championship, though it has finished 2nd on two occasions, and the teams that it beat at the Sectional level have twice qualified as Wildcards and won State.
Tournament Hosting
2005 saw the start of the New Trier Varsity, whose questions were written by Carlo Angiuli and Nick Matchen, two junior on that year's team. This necessitated the move, unusual in Illinois, where the house did not field a team. The tournament was an unqualified success. The 2006 tournament was written by Aegis Questions, the official company started by Carlo and Nick along with others, most notably Loyola's Matt Laird. In 2007, Aegis again provided the questions, and the rules were modified to better fit ACF rather than Illinois Scholastic Bowl Format. In 2008, Aegis stopped providing questions to the tournament that had led to its own creation in order to focus on the Masonic series, but Aegis folded a month later. The 2008 tournament was thrown together in the last month mostly by Jonah Greenthal and David Reinstein. For 2009, Jonah recruited several writers and put the system back on solid footing.
As a perennially top ranked team, New Trier has a long history of hosting IHSA Regional Tournaments (which they have won every year except once since the inception of the Regional level in 1997, and even then advanced because two teams from each Regional used to go to the Sectional), and with a great many experienced tournament personnel at their disposal, have hosted several IHSA Sectional Tournaments.
Despite these, the most intriguing tournament hosted in Winnetka every year is the Scobol Solo. The questions are written by David Reinstein, and it has annually attracted over 100 of the top players in the state (and occasionally some from outside of Illinois). Some consider it "the unofficial individual state championship."

IHSSBCA Individual Awards
The following were honored by the Illinois High School Scholastic Bowl Coaches Association (IHSSBCA) for outstanding play through their All-Sectional/All-State Program. Each sectional comprises roughly 24 geographically concentrated teams, and thus roughly 125 starting players. Through the 2006-07 season, the top ten players were recognized in each sectional,(starting with 2007-08, the number was raised to 15) with teams restricted to no more than two nominations (three nominations starting in 2007-08). There are twenty All-State awards given each year (10 First Team, 10 Second Team) in each of Illinois' two classes.
