Dan Donohue is a senior and former player at Saint Viator High School in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. Really a generalist, he was Saint Viator's de facto literature and fine arts player. He is now a hobo who rambles from tournament to tournament looking for ones that will let him play. He is also the youngest-ever IHSSBCA test-certified moderator.
Personal Performance
In the 2008-2009 season, the IHSSBCA named Dan to the All-Sectional team in the Stevenson Sectional as part of their All-Sectional/All-State Program.
He averaged 19.5 points per game, good for seventh overall, at the University of Illinois' 2009 Matt Cvijanovich Memorial Novice Tournament. At the 2009 NSC, he put up 25.0 points per game; wore large, white sunglasses; and placed a talking Montgomery "Scotty" Scott action figure on his desk before each match. At the 2009 HSNCT he wore less flashy sunglasses and only put up 24.32 points per game, good for 198th overall.
At 2009 ACE Camp, he was a Wildman finalist and Literature finalist at SEMO.
He was named to the All-Tournament Team at the 2007 Carmel Frosh/Soph, 2008 Kaneland Frosh/Soph, and the 2009 Kaneland Varsity. But those weren't good tournaments so they don't really matter.
Writing and Editing
Dan does the bulk of the writing and all of the editing for Viator's biannual Junior High Tournament, which used to be IHSA-format but is now mACF.
He will serve as Tournament Director for The Septemberist, Saint Viator's Junior Varsity tournament and mirror of the Fall Novice Set.
With Jeff Geringer, he is writing and editing Trashtastrophe 2009, an all-Trash solo tournament—the first of its kind in Illnois—to be hosted by Loyola Academy on October 17th, 2009.
He wrote Literature, Fine Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Miscellaneous questions for the 2009 Varsity tournament at Richland.
Other
He dislikes Illinois Scholastic Bowl very much.
