ROBINSON FEELS REBUILDING PAINS IN FIRST HALF OF 2009-2010
Douglas, Phillips receive individual honors at Cave Spring; McEnaney makes final eight at Duke
Posted Thursday, January 28
With only one returning full-time 'A' team player, Robinson's quiz bowl team struggled through parts of the fall 2009 season, but also experienced pockets of success as it seeks to rebuild from losing three all-NCATA players in the past two seasons.
After placing second at the Duke Celebrity Shoot on November 7 behind individual quarterfinal performances from senior Colleen McEnaney and junior McLeod Phillips, the 'A' team barely missed out on the four-team playoff at the talent-laden Bonfire of the Manatees at Raleigh Charter one week later, despite posting a 6-2-1 record agianst tough competition. Robinson kept it up the next week at Virginia's Cave Spring Invitational, losing only once in the preliminary rounds, with senior captain Jared Douglas and Phillips taking home individual honors. An upset loss to Raleigh Charter, however, seemed to foreshadow coming troubles for the team.
Robinson's last two tournaments of the fall semester took place out of state at very large, prestigious events. At both the Cougar Academic Team Tournament at Chattahoochee High School in suburban Atlanta and the Dorman Cavalier Challenge in Spartanburg, the 'A' team sputtered to 3-2 records in preliminary rounds and made early exits in the playoffs.
Despite its lackluster record thus far, Robinson's 'B' team has shown tremendous promise. The understudies have been anchored this year by junior co-captain Jake Myers, who has led the team in scoring thus far.
The team will look to finish strong with its run of in-state tournaments in February and March, starting with the Quaker Bowl at Early College of Guilford on February 6.
