HISTORY
The Northmont Academic Challenge Team is one of the most successful teams in the West Central region of Ohio, qualifying for regionals on 15 occasions, winning the past three regional championships (2009, 2010, 2011) and winning the High Q championship on 3 occasions (with 4 other Final Four appearances).
The team was founded in 1991 by Carol Roberts, who led the team to six consecutive regional appearances and 4 consecutive league titles. After Mrs. Roberts retirement from coaching in 2004, Bill Patrizio led the team for 2 years.
David Jones took over the Northmont program midseason in 2005, competing only in GWOC league competition (4th place) and the UC Bearcat Buzzerbowl. The team reappeared on the state scene in 2006-2007, with captain Anna Henry leading the T-Bolts to a regionals appearance and a High-Q Final Four appearance.
The 2007-2008 team, captained by Joe Czupryn and featuring a very young supporting cast, captured 2 league championships, a conference MVP (Joe Czupryn- GWOC), a coach of the year award (D.Jones- GWOC), a regionals appearance, 6th place NAQT states, and qualification for PACE and NAQT nationals.
The 2008-2009 team, captained by Amma Boakye, was the beginning of Northmont's re-emergence as a regional power. The team won the GWOC conference with an undefeated record and won their first ever OAC West Central Regional title, with a narrow victory over Tippecanoe.
The 2009-2010 team, captained by Michael Czupryn and led by NASAT All-Star Brandon Williams, won 8 tournaments and the 2010 NAQT Ohio State Championship. The team, which travels more than possibly any team in the country, won a school record 193 matches during the season. The team won its second straight GWOC Championship (undefeated) and captured its 3rd High-Q Championship (and the $4,000 prize). The team won $7,000 with its 2nd place finish on the ONN Brain Game.
The 2010-2011 team is the most successful team in school history, with more than 200 wins on the season and 12 tournament championships. The team fell short of a state title, falling to Copley in the both the NAQT (finished 3rd) and OAC (finished 2nd) State Tournaments, despite beating eventual NAQT champ Olmsted Falls by over 100 points at the NAQT State Championship. The team was led by 2-time NASAT all-Ohio player Brandon Williams, who was flanked by a very balanced team of Michael Czupryn, Dan Welch and Emily Bingham.
The 2011-2012 team will be led by a pair of freshmen- Sam Blizzard and Tori Amos. As a 8th grader, Blizzard was the 3rd highest scorer at the NAQT High School State Championship, and Blizzard led 8th grade teams to several victories over Ohio powers Warren G. Harding and St. Charles during the 2010-2011 season, as well as victories over Danville and Simon Kenton. The 2011 OAC State Championship prevented Northmont's Middle School team from competing in the first event NAQT MSNCT.
