Gallatin High School is a public 9-12 school in Gallatin, Tennessee. It is very active in the Middle Tennessee circuit, competing in tournaments ranging from the WCTE Academic Bowl to county-wide night leagues. Gallatin was slated to attend their first national championship in the 2020 HSNCT, before its unfortunate cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
WCTE Academic Bowl
Perhaps most notably, Gallatin has been very successful at the televised WCTE Academic Bowl. They won the championship in 2016, 2019, and 2020, on top of finishing second to Cookeville a considerable number of years. 2016 also marked the first time longtime coach Brian Hoover has won the championship, either as a player or coach.
