Basic Academy Speech and Debate members (Tevin, Stephanie, Jacob, and Sage) enjoy some down-time at the NWCTA Debate invitational on November 14, 2015 Basic Academy attended the Northwest Career and Technical Academy Debate Invitational November 13-14, 2015. There were 23 schools that participated in 5 different styles of debate over the two day tournament.
Sage Steffen led our Congress entries by advancing on to Super Congress, the best of the best in the tournament. She also held the honors of being Presidiing Officer in one of the four sessions she participated in. Jacob Weckesser also participated in Congressional Debate at this tournament.
Both Tevin Stewart and Stephanie Paredes debuted the new Lincoln-Douglas resolution. Tevin improved his record to 2-2, and Stephanie debuted at the JV level with a 2-2 record.
Tournaments definitely help refine skills in Speech and Debate, but they are not all work and no play. There is considerable amount of downtime where the team can build camaraderie and mingle with other teams. Our Wolves have already formed a bond that helps make tournaments worth going to.
We would like to thank Jorge Mortero and Ross Weckesser for judging and being a part of what makes tournaments possible. We are looking forward to our next tournament at Canyon Springs in December.
