Viburnum High School is a public high school located in Viburnum, Missouri. Its quizbowl team competes in the Gasconade Valley Conference and in Class 1 (Class 2 prior to 2009) of MSHSAA academic competition.
History
Viburnum's quizbowl team was founded sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s. The team saw some regional success, and is one of very few teams to have ever defeated perennial powerhouse Richland in district play. However, for years they were unable to break through and win a conference or district championship, losing a district championship game on the last question on a botched pronunciation and a conference championship against Belle when a Viburnum player's answer of "an actor" was not accepted on the question "What is the one-word definition of the word 'thespian?'"
The 2004 team, led by coach Craig Frutiger and team captain Matt Chadbourne, won the school's first conference and district championships, and advanced to the state championship game. However, a mistake on a simple computational math question cost them the game, as they were defeated by Richland 275-220.
The team had moderate success the next year, but was less active over the following decade. In 2006, they attempted to attend the UMR Spring Tournament without signing up beforehand, due to confusion brought by a midseason coaching change. Since that incident, Viburnum rarely competed outside of conference and district play before attending three tournaments at Sullivan in the 2018-2019 season.
