| − | '''Dan "Dan-Don" Donohue''' is a freshman at [[Northwestern]], and formerly attended [[Saint Viator]] High School in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. For much of his senior year, he was unaffiliated with the team there, yet played many tournaments in Illinois solo as a "hobo". He also holds the distinction of being the youngest-ever [[IHSSBCA]] performance certified moderator. On the [[hsquizbowl.org forums]] (and in the quizbowl community at large), Dan goes by "Dan-Don," a nickname given to him by [[Zahed Haseeb]]. He writes for [[NAQT]] and [[HSAPQ]].
| + | For much of his senior year, he was unaffiliated with the team at [[Saint Viator]], yet played many tournaments in Illinois solo as a [[rogue]] team, an action which [[David Riley]] said "inadvertently opened the door for others to do likewise."

| |
| − | From 2004 to 2006, Dan captained St. James Jr. High of Arlington Heights to a few top-three finishes at [[Saint Viator]]'s biannual middle school tournaments. The questions were [[bad quizbowl]], but he was always the team's top scorer.

| − | Dan played only [[bad quizbowl]] during his freshman and sophomore years. During this time, he led the Viator frosh/soph team to a couple [[North Metropolitan Scholastic Bowl League|NMSBL]] titles and was named to the All-Tournament Teams at the 2007 [[Carmel]] Frosh/Soph and the 2008 Kaneland Frosh/Soph. But those weren't good tournaments so they don't really matter.

| |
| − | In the 2008-2009 season, Dan experienced [[good quizbowl]] for the first time, even traveling to the [[2009 NSC]] and [[2009 HSNCT]]. At both tournaments he put up less-than-impressive individual stats, wore flashy sunglasses, and placed a talking Montgomery "Scotty" Scott action figure on his desk before each match. The [[IHSSBCA]] named Dan to the All-Sectional team in the [[Stevenson]] Sectional as part of their [[IHSSBCA All State Program|All-Sectional/All-State Program]].

| − | At 2009 [[ACE Camp]], he was a Wildman finalist and Literature finalist at SEMO. In October 2009, a series of disagreements with [[Saint Viator]]'s head coach and administration left Dan teamless. As a result, he chose to play as a Hobo, sometimes with his former teammates, which culminated in a 39th place solo finish at the [[2010 NSC|2010 PACE NSC]]. In March 2010, the [[IHSSBCA]] voted him to the Second Class AA All-State Team [http://www.ihssbca.org/awards/2010aa_allstate.php] as part of their [[IHSSBCA All State Program]].

| − | ==High School==
| |
| − | He wrote Literature, Fine Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Miscellaneous questions for the 2009 Varsity tournament at [[Richland (Missouri High School)|Richland]]. He also wrote and edited U.S. Literature, World Literature, U.S. History, and Social Science for ANTACID, the 2009 incarnation of [[New Trier Varsity]]. He is also employed as a writer by [[NAQT]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Side Events==
| |
| − | With [[Jeff Geringer]], he cowrote, coedited, and codirected [[Trashtastrophe]], an all-Trash doubles tournament (the first of its kind in Illnois) that was hosted by [[Loyola Academy]] on October 17th, 2009 following the conclusion of their [[Ultima]] tournament. Dan also contributed to Trashtwostrophe, a similar event played following the conclusion of [[NIU]]'s 2010 Huskie Bowl.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Dan cowrote and served as head editor for [[VIOLATEDD]] (Very Intellectual Open Lit Affair Totally Edited by Dan-Don), an all-literature singles set (also the first of its kind in Illinois) that was played after the conclusion of the 2009 [[New Trier Varsity]] and was mirrored at [[Clemson]]'s 2010 Weekend of Quizbowl, among other places.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Dan's situation in high school meant that he often could make it to tournaments only as a moderator. Dan, the youngest-ever [[IHSSBCA]] performance-certified moderator, can still be seen around Illinois moderating tournaments on a near-weekendly basis.
