Williams & Wingham Climb to the Top at Flower Mound

After getting lost in a first round loss, Brittany Williams and Zavier Wingham cleared through their remaining rounds to capture the VCX title at the Flower Mound debate tournament.

Also breaking at the tournament were Efrain Vera and David Webb.  The "super-novice" team earned their first two points towards TFA State.  While a long shot, they still have a serious chance of qualifying.

This marked the second local TFA tournament in the three weeks a Law Magnet team wins.  It's also the third VCX championship for the squad.

Forget the NFL Let's Talk TOC - Camacho-Stephens Qualify for TOC

Eddie Camacho and Charlie Stephens etched themselves a place in Law Magnet history by becoming the first debaters to ever qualify to the TOC.  They did it by winning 3 out rounds and finishing 3rd at the Golden Desert Tournament hosted by UNLV.

The picture on the left is similar to the "trophy" they received for their Final Four finish.    We're still thinking whether to hang it in the debate room or the courtroom.  We might even hang it in Mr. Palagonia's offiee.

Great job CS.  I am proud of you and so is the staff of the Law Magnet.
