Lawrence "Sungus" Sung (Class of 2021) is a player and "public relations officer" for Arcadia High School who unfortunately is currently inactive. He also competes for Arcadia's History Bowl team.
Individual career
He is a two-time history bee regional finalist. At the 2018 National History Bowl championship, he put the team on his back and carried Arcadia's JV team to finish 56th in the country. At the peak of his quizbowl career, he managed 5 powers, 8 tens, and 9 negs, on the 2018-2019 iteration of HFT. But when Arcadia Quizbowl needed him most, he vanished.
Lord Sungus' tragic hiatus from the QB world has been dubbed by many as "Exit the King" in reference to a play by Ionesco.
Personal
Lawrence is an avid member of the Arcadia Unified School District Digital Communications Internship Program (DCI), the Arcadia Bridge the Divide club, Arcadia's Speech and Debate team, the Arcadia Taiwanese Appreciation Club, Arcadia High School's Peer Mentors program, and he considers himself to be a proud patriot.
Other SoCal players have nicknamed him "Daddy Sungus" because he is the undisputed GOAT. Nate Kang and Ryan Sun are currently in the process of forming a doomsday cult that worships him as Christ incarnate.
Lawrence is also the subject of a critically acclaimed novella, written by Santa Monica player Josh Xu, entitled "The Epic of Sungus". Regarded as a classic example of Kafka-esque literature, "The Epic of Sungus" has become quite famous in the SoCal QB community and received rave reviews upon its publication in 2020.
