Playing History
High School
Only playing for his senior year of high school in the MSHSAA format, Jacob did not encounter good quiz bowl until his first practice at Truman State University.
College
Jacob's first tournament during the 2010-2011 season was the Early Autumn Collegiate Novice Tournament. [1] After 2010 ACF Fall at Truman State[2], his next tournament was the 2011 NAQT Region 11 SCT at Missouri State, where he placed 5th individually in D-II. [3] Since playing harder tournaments such as ACF Regionals[4], he has realized how much work he still has to do, and has begun studying harder to improve. His last tournament was the 2011 MUT mirror at Rock Bridge High School, where Truman A placed 4th.[5]
The 2011-2012 season saw Jacob play on many high placing Truman teams, including at the Missiles of October mirror at Rock Bridge [6] and the 2012 NAQT Region 11 SCT, where his team ultimately earned a bid to participate in the 2012 ICT[7]. He placed 10th individually in Division II at the ICT. [8]
He is also a member of MOQBA and staffs several high school tournaments throughout the state.
