CONGRATS to Glyneisha Johnson, David Webb and Katia Ramirez

VLD'rs Crest at Creekview

The JBS Law Magnet debate team had three VLD debaters break to Octo-Finals at Creekview. Glyneisha Johnson, Katia Ramirez and David Webb all finished the preliminary rounds undefeated.  This marks the first time this year with three VLD debaters in out rounds.  Additionally, it marks Katia's first break as a varsity debater.  This is significant since she is only a freshman.

Joe Behm earned the 4th Place Best Speaker in VCX, while Ivan Garcia and Rolando Velasquez finished as the 10th Seed, but failed to break on speaker points.

This ends the debate season for the Fall Semester and for 2010.  The team will next debate at Coppell High School on January 7-8, 2011.
