2011-2012
2012 HSNCT: The team, consisting of seniors Sophia Chen, Jimmy Zhou, David Benas, junior Alex Liu, and freshman Nirav Ilango, had a terrible start on Saturday, going 2-2 (including a 5-point loss to an Idress-less Dunbar). However, after lunch, the team went on to win six straight games, capping it off with an upset of LASA A. The team went 8-2 in prelims for the first time in the school's history, and Nirav was named a Freshman All-Star with a PPG of 45.21. On Sunday, Hooch sent Christiansburg to losers before being trounced by Ladue, during which the entire team went 1/5/5. A win over Great Neck South lead to a rematch against East Chapel Hill, who had lost to Hooch by only 20 points in the prelim game. Chattahoochee again managed to squeeze out a win by only 15 points, despite having five negs. Chattahoochee was ultimately eliminated by fellow Georgia school Centennial, a game in which Adam Silverman nailed ten powers. The team finished tied for 8th with a record of 11-4, matching the 2009 team's HSNCT record of eleven wins.
