Opponents and Rivalries
South Callaway competes in the Mid-Missouri Conference against quiz bowl teams from North Callaway, Southern Boone, Harrisburg, and Hallsville. Tipton does not field a quiz bowl team at this time.
The school was classified by MSHSAA as Class 3, District 4 in the 2007-2008 school year, and as Class 3, District 7 in 2008-2009.
The schools largest rivalry is by far that with Hallsville, a formidable conference and district opponent. Though fierce quiz bowl rivals, the two schools' captains in 2007-08, Alex Dzurick and Taylor Smith, traveled together to the 2008 Truman State mirror of the Zot Bowl summer novice open tournament.
A north-south rivalry exists between South Callaway and North Callaway.
For the first time, South Callaway competed against Jefferson City High School as a pre-districts warm-up on April 16, defeating them.
Tournament Attendance
Before the 2007-2008 season, South Callaway's tournament attendance was lax. Due to the influence of the Missouri Academic Competition Message Board on captain Alex Dzurick, the team attended multiple tournaments in 2008.
2004-05 - MSHSAA district series
2005-06 - MSHSAA district and state series; hosted Callaway-County-wide tournament
2006-07 - MSHSAA district series; Mid-Missouri conference tournament
2007-08 - MSHSAA district series; Mid-Missouri conference tournament; Warrenton Warrior Classic; William Woods Academic Tournament
2008-09 (planned) - MSHSAA district series; Mid-Missouri conference tournament
The team had planned to enter the Helias tournament in 2007-08, but many team members had planned to attend the Mid-Missouri Conference Band or a math competition that day. Due to snow cancellations, both other events had been canceled, but it was too late for South Callaway to enter.
