Lakeside (WA)
Revision as of 00:30, 16 July 2011 by Nikhil Desai (talk | contribs) (moved 2005 Lakeside to Lakeside (WA): no need for this to only reflect one season of the team)
A private school in Seattle.
In 2005, Lakeside surprised many high school scene watchers by finishing in a clear second place at the NAQT HSNCT to Thomas Jefferson, losing only to TJ during the course of the tournament. They also jumped out to a large lead in the final game and took TJ down to the last tossup--the only team to come with 280 points of TJ in any game at the HSNCT that year.
Lakeside and 2002 St. John's are the only teams from outside of the Michigan, Southeast, or Mid-Atlantic regions of high school quizbowl to ever make the finals at a major national championship.
The team consisted of Kyle Haddad-Fonda, Benjamin Bishop, Patrick Leahy (D-VT), and Michael Dunn.
