The JBS Law Magnet debate team had its most successful showing at TFA State with three Top 20 performances. Ivan Garcia and Rolando Velasquz finished in 17th place in CX Debate. Ivan Garcia (who has struggled with his speaker points all year) finished as the 19th Best Speaker in CX. Kelsey was the 20th Best Speaker in LD. Since TFA State is so large, they recognize the top 20 Speakers.
In a year, in which JBS was supposed to rebuilding, it got is first CX team to break at TFA state. Scott Deatherage used to say that "when won of us wins, we all win," that debate is more of a team effort than just the people debating in the room. That was obvious this weekend as Charlie Stephens and Zavier Wingham came up to help be part of the research/strategy team, instead of enjoying their first weekend of Spring Break. Below is a great picture of one of our "war room" sessions before leaving for the tournament.
Now we get ready for UIL Spring Meet and then the NDCA Championships in Scranton, PA.
