History

While the school has had a string of conference, sectional, and regional titles since its state championship in 1992, Hinsdale Central has not played a major role in the Illinois Quizbowl scene in a while.

Starting in the 2013-2014 school year, with the graduation of its five solid Varsity seniors, Hinsdale Central was left with a large talent/age vacuum, due to weak retention of '14 and '15 players. Sophomore Sunny Chen, the only member to have gone to Ace over the summer, naturally stepped up to the leadership position.

The all sophomore and freshman team showed many signs of potential as the season went on, with decent placement and wins at major tournaments, many of which were attended unaffiliated.
