anyway if we’re talking about austin area quizbowl LASA (liberal arts and science academy) was a national juggernaut for a few years in the early 2010s but they have fallen the fuck off ever since. even within the state they’re basically just a good but not great team on the years they actually exist

they also got a chip on the last question in 2013, in the process preventing that year’s dynasty from sweeping three natties (that entire team was their state’s representative for NASAT and they won)

#28646

figures. they were also cracked at FTC, I knew a couple ppl on their FTC team when they were active (which idt they are anymore)

#28647

it wasn’t even like dynasty favoritism or anything they were genuinely just the best 4 players in the state

#28648
