Charlie Perkins (pictured, the one who isn't old) played a semester or two for William and Mary and was Honaker's Captain in 2010. He used to hold a bunch of high school records and led his team to the [{VHSL]] A-division championship game in 2010-- not a big deal to some, but Honaker also has about 500 students in a non-quizbowl-friendly part of rural Virginia. Due to their distance from what most call civilization, Honaker only started attending non-VHSL competitions in 2007, and only averages 2-3 weekend tournaments a year, most of which were housewritten. Honaker's small size also prevents a lot of the player specialization that larger and well-known programs have installed, so he was forced into a generalist role without the depth of the usual power players; four of his the five total power-answers in his NAQT career came as a sophomore and junior.
He served as Group Coordinator of the VHSL State Tournament in 2012 and 2013, put in charge of divisions AA and AAA, respectively. No longer very active in the quizbowl world, but still lurks the hsquizbowl forums occasionally and isn't entirely opposed to helping out at tournaments if they're nearby.
