JBS Debaters Hang Record # TFA Points on Christmas Tree


The JBS Law Magnet Debate team closed out the first half of the debate season with eleven debaters having one or more TFA State qualifying points. This is the most number of students possessing points at this stage in the year.  

Five members of the LD squad accumulated points. Law Magnet has never had more than three LD'rs with TFA points at all.

Congrats to all for fruits of all the hard effort. Get some well deserved rest during the break. Come back refreshed and refortified to make the push to get TFA qualified. 

The team is still on pace to reach its goal of two CX teams and two LD'rs getting qualified for state.
