All year, Speech and Debate has been competing and doing amazing, but all in preparation of what? Well, whatever it is, it's finally here. The big one. The final test. The last chance. That's right, Speech and Debate State Championship Tournament!
From Apr. 16 to Apr. 19, 15 members of AHS Speech and Debate traveled to Bakersfield, California to compete with other teams from all across the state. The competition lasted three days, with preliminary rounds on the first two days, and elimination rounds on the third. This tournament had the same events as most of the tournaments covered previously, ranging from arguing the credibility of lobbyists in Public Forum Debate to telling stories about fat kids with matches in Original Prose and Poetry. "Quote about a cool speech yay woah so different never seen this style before." But for some, the best part of State Champs wasn't the competition, rather the bonding and friendships among team members. "Quote about fun times yay fun anecdote wooo."
And in the end, AHS Speech and Debate dominated as always, with # members breaking into semi-finals, and # members placing in finals. "Quote from semi-finalist." "Quote from finalist." (Any state champions) "Quote from state champions."
But all in all, this year's team attributed their success to their coaches, Ms. Josipa Casey and Ms. Ashley Novak. Ms. Novak had been out on a maternal leave for almost the entirety of the year, so Ms. Casey did a wonderful job maintaining the good aspects of the team and improving it to an insuperable level. "Quote from student thanking the coaches." "Quote from coaches."
Wow...isn't Speech and Debate great...(better ending hopefully)
