JBS Law Debaters Gust Thru Guyer Field

The JBS Law Magnet debate team grabbed two top finishes at the Guyer TFA qualifier this weekend.

Ivan Garcia and Rolando Velasquez knocked off the top seed in Quarters and defeated Colleyville-Heritage in the Semi's on 3-0 decision before finally splitting a 2-1 decision against Greenhill in the Finals.  Team GV finished 2nd and earned 6 TFA State points.

Kelsey Annu-Essuman broke to Quarters in VLD and won the Top Speaker Award in the division. Kelsey also earned an additional 2 TFA points, bringing her total to 5 for the year.

The novice LD'rs also competed in their first tournament and did so in the varsity division. Congratulations to Jose Garcia, Maria Herrera and Kimberly Pesina for competing for the first time.  On a special note, Maria won one of her varsity rounds!

Next week, the team competes at Plano West.
