The WKU team also uses [[Gatton Academy]] students in college tournaments, due to the fact that the Gatton educational program consists of their students taking a full course load of WKU classes alongside regular college students. Some of these players play for WKU on a regular basis, while others prefer high school quizbowl and only appear from time to time.
