2008-2009

In the 2008-2009 season, Dan experienced good quizbowl for the first time, even traveling to the 2009 NSC and 2009 HSNCT. At both tournaments he put up less-than-impressive individual stats, wore flashy sunglasses, and placed a talking Montgomery "Scotty" Scott action figure on his desk before each match. The IHSSBCA named Dan to the All-Sectional team in the Stevenson Sectional as part of their All-Sectional/All-State Program.

-'''Dan "Dan-Don" Donohue''' is a senior at [[Saint Viator]] High School in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. He currently has no team affiliation, but will play for [[Northwestern]] in the fall. He also holds the distinction of being the youngest-ever [[IHSSBCA]] performance certified moderator. On the [[hsquizbowl.org forums]] (and in the quizbowl community at large), Dan goes by "Dan-Don," a nickname given to him by [[Zahed Haseeb]]. He writes for [[NAQT]].
-=Player=
-==Middle School==
-From 2004 to 2006, Dan captained St. James Jr. High of Arlington Heights to a few top-three finishes at [[Saint Viator]]'s biannual middle school tournaments. The questions were [[bad quizbowl]], but he was always the team's top scorer.
-==High School==
-===2006-2008===
-Dan played only [[bad quizbowl]] during his freshman and sophomore years. During this time, he led the Viator frosh/soph team to a couple [[North Metropolitan Scholastic Bowl League|NMSBL]] titles and was named to the All-Tournament Teams at the 2007 [[Carmel]] Frosh/Soph and the 2008 Kaneland Frosh/Soph. But those weren't good tournaments so they don't really matter.
 ===2008-2009===
 In the 2008-2009 season, Dan experienced [[good quizbowl]] for the first time, even traveling to the [[2009 NSC]] and [[2009 HSNCT]]. At both tournaments he put up less-than-impressive individual stats, wore flashy sunglasses, and placed a talking Montgomery "Scotty" Scott action figure on his desk before each match. The [[IHSSBCA]] named Dan to the All-Sectional team in the [[Stevenson]] Sectional as part of their [[IHSSBCA All State Program|All-Sectional/All-State Program]].
-===2009-2010===
-At 2009 [[ACE Camp]], he was a Wildman finalist and Literature finalist at SEMO. In October 2009, a series of disagreements with [[Saint Viator]]'s head coach and administration left Dan teamless. He continues to play as a Hobo (sometimes with his former teammates). In March 2010,  the [[IHSSBCA]] voted him to the Second Class AA All-State Team [http://www.ihssbca.org/awards/2010aa_allstate.php] as part of their [[IHSSBCA All State Program]].

-=Writer and Editor=
-==Middle School==
-Dan used to do the bulk of the writing and all of the editing for Viator's biannual Junior High Tournament, which used to be [[IHSA]]-format but, thanks to Dan, is now [[mACF]].
-==High School==
-He wrote Literature, Fine Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Miscellaneous questions for the 2009 Varsity tournament at [[Richland (Missouri High School)|Richland]]. He also wrote and edited U.S. Literature, World Literature, U.S. History, and Social Science for ANTACID, the 2009 incarnation of [[New Trier Varsity]]. He is also employed as a writer by [[NAQT]].
-==Side Events==
-With [[Jeff Geringer]], he cowrote, coedited, and codirected [[Trashtastrophe]], an all-Trash doubles tournament (the first of its kind in Illnois) that was hosted by [[Loyola Academy]] on October 17th, 2009 following the conclusion of their [[Ultima]] tournament. Dan also contributed to Trashtwostrophe, a similar event played following the conclusion of [[NIU]]'s 2010 Huskie Bowl.
-Dan cowrote and served as head editor for [[VIOLATEDD]] (Very Intellectual Open Lit Affair Totally Edited by Dan-Don), an all-literature singles set (also the first of its kind in Illinois) that was played after the conclusion of the 2009 [[New Trier Varsity]] and was mirrored at [[Clemson]]'s 2010 Weekend of Quizbowl, among other places.
-=TD and Moderator=
-On September 26th, 2009, Dan earned praise for directing The Septemberist, Saint Viator's junior varsity tournament and mirror of the [[Fall Novice Set]].
-Dan's current situation means that he often makes it to tournaments only as a moderator. Dan, the youngest-ever [[IHSSBCA]] performance-certified moderator, can be seen around Illinois moderating tournaments on a near-weekendly basis.
