'''Charlie Perkins''' is the former Head Coach at [[Honaker]] and currently serves as the team's Assistant Coach. During his tenure as Head Coach, Honaker has earned three VHSL state championships (2016, 2017, 2019) and one VHSL state runner-up (2018).
  
==History==

==Playing career==
Perkins was recruited for [[Honaker]]'s team after he was scouted during [[Alex Zachwieja]]'s World Geography class in 8th grade. He had never participated in Quizbowl before, but had previous experience as a competitor in two National Spelling Bees, which he studied for using discipline that would later be applied to his Quizbowl career.

Perkins was Honaker's captain in 2010, leading the team to its first of what would become four VHSL State Runner-Ups. In college, he played a semester or two for [[William and Mary]].
  
He would rotate between Honaker's A and B teams in the 2007-2008 Season before being part of a trio of 1000+ point scorers (in VHSL play) during his Junior year. During his first three years, he developed an extensive knowledge of Mythology to compensate for the loss of [[Orville J. Herndon]] after the 2008 season. He has since been named "the best Mythology player to come through Honaker" by Alex Zachwieja. He was also de facto Trash King for Honaker during the 2008-2009 season.
+
He also led a one-off unofficial Honaker team under the name of "Robert Zimmerman High School" at a 2010 NAREN mirror in Concord, NC. They finished in 4th place out of 14 teams in a field which included teams like Raleigh Charter and Dorman. The event marked one of Honaker's first quizbowl tournament appearances in a field with nationally-renowned programs.

Perkins still competes in the occasional open and trash tournament, often using the names of former high schools in middle Appalachia like "Big Creek"[https://www.naqt.com/stats/tournament/team.jsp?team_id=119448] for pseudonyms.
Early on, Perkins developed using the [[McKenzie Method]]. During early years, his play was inconsistent. Some of his play even resulted in the occasional [[negstorm]]. As of recently, he started mixing in use of the [[Yaphe Method]], and in a tight spot resorts to standard [[lateral thinking]].

Charlie Perkins is the former Head Coach at Honaker and currently serves as the team's Assistant Coach. During his tenure as Head Coach, Honaker has earned three VHSL state championships (2016, 2017, 2019) and one VHSL state runner-up (2018).

Playing career

Perkins was Honaker's captain in 2010, leading the team to its first of what would become four VHSL State Runner-Ups. In college, he played a semester or two for William and Mary.

He also led a one-off unofficial Honaker team under the name of "Robert Zimmerman High School" at a 2010 NAREN mirror in Concord, NC. They finished in 4th place out of 14 teams in a field which included teams like Raleigh Charter and Dorman. The event marked one of Honaker's first quizbowl tournament appearances in a field with nationally-renowned programs.

Perkins still competes in the occasional open and trash tournament, often using the names of former high schools in middle Appalachia like "Big Creek"[1] for pseudonyms.

Coaching career

Perkins served as a Group Coordinator of the VHSL State Tournament in 2012, 2013, and 2015, and also as a timekeeper at the 2011 tournament. From 2008-2020, Perkins attended the VHSL State Tournament for 13 consecutive years as either a player (08-10), staffer (11, 12, 13, 15), coach (15-20), or spectator (2014 only). This streak was brought to an end as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an online 2021 state tournament, though Honaker did qualify and play in the event.

Since 2016, he has been one of the coaches spearheading SWATA, which brought quizbowl tournaments to the geographically isolated and essentially quizbowl-less area of deep Southwestern Virginia.
