Honaker is a team from deep southwestern Virginia that mostly plays in the Virginia High School League. They are known as the dominant team over the Group A Black Diamond District for the past sixteen years, and usually also Region D Champions. They have been VHSL state tournament competitors almost every year since the launch of VHSL ScoBowl in its current format. In 2010, after attending 9 VHSL State Competitions, Honaker finished runner-up in Group A, followed by two more runner-up performances in 2011 and 2013. After the 2013-14 reassignment of VHSL Academic Teams based on school size, Honaker took home the first 1A VHSL State Championship, as well as the first state title in the program's history.
Honaker's unique and physically distant position from other competitive Virginia teams prevents the program from attending very many weekend tournaments; to compensate, they regularly schedule around 30 VHSL "regular season" games per year, far more than the average VHSL team.
