General Information
Fairview High School is a 9-12 public high school in rural Cullman County, Alabama. Fairview's club president is Brett Hogan. Fairview is coached by Eric Vest.
History
Fairview's first quiz bowl team was organized in 1981. The team acquired a vast amount of titles and trophies at area community college tournaments throughout the 1990s. Fairview won its ASCA district in 1993 and won a tournament at Calhoun Community College in 1994. Fairview has not competed in ASCA competitions since the end of the 1990s.
Coaches
Brenda Scott and Dianne Bailey co-sponsored the team from its inception in 1981 for a number of years throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Vicki Skelley maintained a long stint as the team's coach until her retirement in May 2014.
Eric Vest became the team's coach in August 2014. He, with a lot of help from team captain Brett Hogan, was able to turn the program around and had Fairview competing in more tournaments than ever before.
Tournament Attendance
Currently, Fairview is for the most part only active in the low-level Cullman County Scholar Bowl, but it has attended Snead State Scholars Bowl in 2008 and 2010.
The last time Fairview won the Cullman County Scholar Bowl was in 2008. However, the team has lately been attending most tournaments held in the immediate area due to the persistence and funding of team captain Brett Hogan.
Club Improvement and Return to Form
An extreme lack of good quizbowl ensued until from roughly the end of 2010 (which was Fairview's last Snead State Scholars Bowl attendance until 2017) until Brett Hogan became team captain around late 2015, and he convinced his coach and teammates to attend the second iteration of West Point Rainwater Invitational on 14 May 2016 as well as to begin competing at numerous tournaments outside of the county circuit, thus causing the team to improve drastically.
Brett Hogan hosted cram sessions at his house during the 2016-2017 academic year with top-scoring team members which further attributed to the team's rising force.
