Noelle Eaton is a former player for El Reno High School and Redlands Community College. She was known for occasionally first cluing geography questions and a wide general knowledge pool encompassing most topics, with the lone exceptions being advanced science and psychology.

High School

Noelle played for El Reno from 2020-2022, following her transfer from Mount St. Mary's, which has never fielded a quiz bowl team. She helped El Reno qualify for the 5A OSSAA State Championship for the first time in five years, where the team finished in seventh place. She also captained El Reno's B team at the 2021 Oklahoma State NAQT Tournament where she placed 13th individually. During her senior year, although El Reno failed to qualify for the OSSAA State Championship, she captained El Reno B and placed fourth, second, and eighth individually at the 3 tournaments the school competed in that year. She was also given the honor of a 2022 OAAC All-State player. She is currently second all-time in scoring history at El Reno, only behind accomplice Riley Ray. Note that all HS stats are under her deadname, which she wishes not to share.

Community College

Noelle was originally going to attend Missouri but backed out when she received a scholarship from Redlands. Tracey Hickman at Murray State College also attempted to recruit her. Playing on Redlands' A team, she helped the team to first-place finishes at the 2022 Garden City Invitational and the 2022 Snow Bowl. She also grabbed first-place honors for individual scoring at both tournaments, averaging 54 and 77 PPG respectively. She had a strong start at the 2023 Oklahoma CC Sectional, but fell off in the second half of the tournament, helping Redlands to a second-place finish while claiming third in individual scoring, behind Marshall Barnett and Robert Simpson. At the 2023 CCCT, she averaged 67 points per game, finishing in third place for individual scoring behind Ursula Kushner and Will Hughes, while helping her team to 11th place.

She also has volunteered at several tournaments, including the 2022 Cougar Invitational and the 2023 NAQT Oklahoma State Championship, the 2023 IPNCT, the 2023 SSNCT, and the 2023 MSNCT. She was set to volunteer at the 2023 HSNCT but pulled out for health reasons.

College

She is attending Oklahoma State in 2023-24 but is uncertain whether she will play quiz bowl competitively.

Other Info

A running joke in the Redlands team was that Noelle hates men so much she became a woman.

Noelle's biggest rival in high school and community college was Marshall Barnett.
