R-MA Places a Team at WACFL 1 PF

Waking up at the ungodly hour of 5:00 a.m. (for some who misread the schematic, 4:00 a.m.), the R-MA Debate Squad traveled the two hours early in the morning to WACFL PF 1 at Massaponax High School south of Fredericksburg. The results were very good.

The team of Maddock and Smith went an undefeated 4-0 and took 2nd only on 4 adjusted speaker points in JV. The teams of Holsinger and Black, and McAteer and Christoph went 2-2 each. The team of Pratt and Dungan in Varsity had a rougher time, but are resolved to come back with a vengeance.

Joined by alumna Tabi Allen and our Assistant Coach, Lauren Burt, the team had a great first CFL tournament and are optimistic about the future. Dining at the large-quantitied, but poorly seasoned Golden Corral for dinner, the R-MA Debate Team returned late to campus, after a 15-hour day, at 9:00 p.m.
