Many students now may be moping over their report cards and wearing into the new semester will a healthy period of slaking. This is the case, however, for the Speech and Debate Team breaking into the second semester in their most recent competition.

With 94 members with a dedication and drive for their topics, Speech and Debate put up “one of [their] best showings” [Ray Chao]. “The best part of speech and debate is the camaraderie, especially since we are all so crazy!” commented officer Ray Chao.
There were two preliminary rounds, semifinals, and then finals. Eighteen schools proceed to the semifinals and seven to the finals. After rounds of speech, impromptus, and interviews, AHS’ Speech and Debate placed second in the match, beaten by [first school, scores]. [quote, maybe from advisor or competitor]. [what awards, maybe a quote from someone who won an award].
