The Hockaday Tournament is one of the oldest TFA tournaments in the Dallas area. It is also the most competitive non-TOC tournament on the Fall schedule. This tournament is a good gauge (for better or worse) how well the JBS team stands up against the best teams in the area and Texas.
Ruben Garcia and Daniel Lozano demonstrated that they have the potential to be an NCX team to reckon with on the TFA circuit. They garnered a 3-1 record to earn the 6th seed. They beat a St. Mark's team to break and beat a Greenhill team to advance to the Quarter-Finals. They finished in 5th Place. The JBS Law Magnet has not had an NCX team do this well at Hockaday since Eddie Camacho and Charlie Stevens were freshmen.
Haley Estrada and Tyffany Robles also broke in NCX as the 15th seed and dropped in Octos. Haley also won 16th Best Speaker.
Results for LD are unofficial as Hockaday has not posted them on the JOT site. Kelsey Annu-Essuman broke Octos and earned an additional two points towards qualification. If the results hold up, she will be one point shy of qualifying.
Thanks go to Ivan Garcia for the photo of Ruben and Daniel with their Silver Platter awards.
