Thanks to Kyle for allowing me to join him in covering this tournament! I'm signing off this account now, and I will hopefully be back during nationals season next year.

Words of encouragement and camaraderie to Buffalo Grove’s Rohan and teammates after Barrington claim their second #HSNCT title in three years.

Not only this, it should be said that: a) Rohan Kher likely will place very highly in the HSNCT recordbooks for power percentage with his absurd 61/24/17 line. b) Barrington would not have even made the final without Michael or Colin. Their buzzes were every bit as crucial today.

The final score in Marquis, one last time: Barrington A (IL) 555, Buffalo Grove (IL) 210. Again, an exceptional performance over both days of the tournament by each team, and all of those we followed on this account. #HSNCT

An equally massive congratulations are due to Buffalo Grove, and especially Rohan Ganeshan, whose enormous individual performance is surely one of the biggest in the history of this event. He's still only a rising senior, so the 2024 field should consider this their warning!

TU1: Rohan Kher gets 10 points late on a literature tossup on The Color Purple to open the scoring for Barrington. After a brief technical pause, Charles soars right through a bonus on British modernist sculpture to take a 40-0 lead.
