Basic Academy Speech and Debate team stepped up to the challenge at the Gator Speech and Debate Tournament held at Green Valley High School, Ocotber 16th and 17th. Green Valley is known for hosting a top-notch event, and as such, there were over 1,000 entries spread across the two day tournament. The fields were strong, as experience has proven. However, our team did not hold back. In the end, Sage Steffen and Jacob Weckesser medaled in JV and Novice Congressional Debate respectively.
Our competiton team also included Star Fantroy,Congressional Debate, Stephanie Pareded-Lagunas, Lincoln Douglas Debate, and Tevin Stewart. He competed in both Foreign Extemporaneous Speech and Lincoln-Douglas debate. As their coach, I am extremly proud of the growth the team has had in a short month of competition. They have improved their speaking and argument skills, but have also grown as people. Their confidence has soared, and they have taken on leadership roles in the class. I couldn't ask for a better set of students to represent the rebirth of competitive Basic Academy Speech and Debate. Go Wolves!
We would like to thank Ross Weckesser, Nicole, Remmer, Gorje Mortero, and Ted Weirauch for representing our share of the judges and being a part of the Basic Academy Speech and Debate family. Thank you for your continued support.
