JBS Debaters Gopher The Points
The Judge Barefoot Debaters had several members earn TFA points at the Grand Prairie tournament this weekend.
Colton Donica and Lucero Pina had a break out tournament. They finished the prelims undefeated and as the number one seed. They advanced to semi finals, finished in 3rd Place and Colton won 1st Place Best Speaker. As a result DP earned 4 TFA points.
Also earning their first two TFA points of the season in VCX were Emilio Lozano and Rolando Velasquez who broke to Quarters and finished in 5th Place. Mike Garcia and Reuben Howard finished in 10th Place with a 3-1 record.
Kelsey Annu-Essuman continued her streak of breaking at every TFA tournament this year. She broke to Octos and earned an additional TFA state point. This brings her total to six. Queztabel Benavides also broke to Octos in VLD and earned her first TFA point of the season.
Haley Estrada and Tyffany Robles, debating in only their second tournament, finished in 2nd Place in Novice CX on a narrow 2-1 split decision. Several of the Novice LD debaters finished with winning records this weekend.
This was a very successful weekend and it would not have been possible without the support of the parents who chaperoned this weekend. In particular, we would like to recognize and thank Ms. Adams (Joe's mom), Ms. Howard (Reuben's mom) and Ms. Velasquez (the Twins' mom) for volunteering to help this weekend.

JBS Law Magnet's Fabulous Fives at Newman Smith
The JBS Law Magnet debate team debuted its novice debaters at the Newman Smith Debate & Speech tournament this weekend.
All the novice debaters won at least one debate round and demonstrated a contagious enthusiasm throughout the long weekend. Ruben Garcia and Daniel Lozano became the first novice debaters to break. They broke to Quarter Finals, winning 5th Place and each winning the first trophies for the novice squad.
Kelsey Annu-Essuman continued to display that she is one of the top junior VLD debaters on the circuit. She went undefeated in preliminary rounds and advanced to Quarters, finishing in 5th Place. She earned an additional 2 TFA state points, upping her total to 5. After just three TFA tournaments, she is half way to her goal of securing TFA State qualification.
Rolando Velasquez and Emilio Lozano once again started strong with a 2-0 record, but were unable to win either of their break rounds.
The complete squad, including all 8 NLD debaters will competing at Grand Prairie next Saturday.
Finally, we would like to thank Ms. Guerrero and Ms. Rojas for helping chaperone this weekend.
