Eddie & Charlie win TOC bid at St. Mark's
Eddie Camacho and Charlie Stephens (CS) continue to break new ground. The team became the first debaters in Law Magnet history to earn a bid to the Tournament of Champions (TOC). The TOC is the most prestigious tournament on the "national circuit," representing the most competitively successful debaters from the nation's most prestigious individual debate tournaments.
CS finished preliminary rounds with a 4-2 record after winning a must-win 6th round. They then went out to defeat Pembroke Hill VH, the #8 seed in the bracket.

Law Magnet Wraps up TFA Spots @ Plano West
The Law Magnet had two Varsity CX teams qualify for the TFA state tournament with their performance at the Plano West Tournament. Eddie Camacho & Charlie Stephens went undefeated through the prelims and claimed the 2nd Seed. Brittany Williams and Zavier Wingham had one loss in the prelims and secured the 5th Seed. Both teams advanced to semis and garnered enough points to qualify to TFA state. This is the earliest we have had two teams qualify.
Congrats to both teams.
