Torrance, California.
We are proud to have the opportunity to reinforce our support of the HBCUs and

THE HCASC STORY
COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE
Twenty-six years ago Honda and the College Bowl
Company teamed up to create Honda Campus All-Star
Challenge. The birth of HCASC marked the creation of
varsity scholars teams and official academic competition at
Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The goal is to support the unique mission of
America’s HBCUs and to emphasize the belief that
“knowledge is our most valuable resource.” Knowledge
enriches us personally and opens our eyes, minds and
hearts to the possibilities the world presents. It reinforces
the ideal behind Honda’s motto, The Power of Dreams.
Honda’s commitment to HCASC expresses its
philosophy that: “Success isn’t measured solely by the
vehicles we make, but also by the lives we enhance.”
HCASC is an entertaining game of outstanding
intellect and quick recall. In addition, it reinforces
critical life skills: sportsmanship, teamwork, passion,
preparedness, community service, striving for success,
accepting defeat with dignity and at all times presenting
oneself with style and grace.
Our alumni travel the world applying their skill
and compassion to every imaginable career and human
endeavor. They give back to their alma maters and HCASC
by supporting campus activities, mentoring students and
becoming global ambassadors for our Friends for Life
philosophy.
Honda Campus All-Star Challenge is a shining
example of how Honda associates, College Bowl staff
members and the friends we’ve made in the HBCU
community strive to empower people and make a
difference where we live and work.
As with the competitors from the twenty-five years
before, we are proud to welcome the Class of 2015 to our
HCASC Friends for Life family.

From inspiring HBCU presidents and senior officials to
dedicated campus coordinators, coaches, players and
clubs, it takes the whole school year for teams to hone
their skills to compete at the HCASC Nationals.
Making it to the Great 48 shows that dedication pays
off. Now it’s “May the best team win!”

THE GREAT
The National Championship is the arena for the very best: The Great 48.
The HBCUs at the Nationals are split into eight divisions. On the first day of competition,
the schools compete in a round-robin tournament against the other schools in their
division. The schools with the two best records advance out of the round-robin to
represent their division in the single-elimination Sweet 16.
The Sweet 16 culminates in a best 2-out-of-3 finals for the championship.
Divisions are named for historic African American figures. The next two pages feature the
2015 HBCU teams by division and the historical person who is their namesake.

The Sweet 16 is comprised of the top two teams from each division. They compete in a
single-elimination tournament, highlighted by a best 2-out-of-3 game final. In the Sweet

The Elite 8 compete on the Big Stage in Studio 540 at Honda headquarters. This is the
pressure-packed climax of the National Championship – the quarter-finals, semi-finals
and finals. It is played in front of a standing-room-only live audience and streamed for

ERNEST C. JONES
SPORTSPERSON OF THE YEAR
This year’s recipient has a voice that was
heard all around the HCASC NCT. His spirit
before, during and after matches and his
interaction with other teams and players
epitomized sincerity and cordiality. Even in
the midst of some of the toughest matches
in his division, he managed to ease the
tension in games and maintain a positive
atmosphere in the room.
JUSTIN WALKER
Livingstone College
His keen understanding of team building
coupled with his infectious personality,
marked him as a leader among his peers.

HCASC
COACH OF THE YEAR
Those who know her best describe her as the
greatest multi-tasker they have ever known.
She is said to be as dedicated to HCASC as
she is to her position in the Education Talent
Search Office. She often works far beyond the
normal hours of operation, using her lunch hour
for planning sessions and her weekends for
practices. Her team is her family. She is a natural
competitor, refusing to lose at anything, and this
passion for winning permeates the work ethic of
each of her players.
She has inspired other students to get involved
with HCASC, and she has single-handedly made
Honda Campus All-Star Challenge an integral
part of her institution’s culture.

COLLEGE BOWL TEAM
Since HCASC began, Honda has believed that among the best ways it
can demonstrate its commitment to the African American community
is by supporting education and our HBCUs. After all, education is
our nation’s number one aspiration and the key to a successful life.
Thanks to Honda, our HCASC volunteers and all our friends at our
HBCUs for allowing us to become your Friends for Life.”
