This weekend several members of the HB speech and debate team got our season kicked off in style with impressive performances at two nearby tournaments.
At an invitational at John Carroll University, the policy debate team of Lulu Sun '14 and Athena Haloua '14 finished 9th overall in a very competitive field of teams from three states.
Just down the road at Laurel School, twelve HB novices started the season at our annual novice tournament. In Lincoln Douglas Debate, HB swept the top three spots, with Isabella Nilsson '16, Kacey Gill '16, and Sue Roy '15 finishing first through third respectively. In Original Oratory, Kavya Ravichandran '16 finished first overall; this is the first time that any HB student has ever received an award in this event.
Congratulations to these girls on their great accomplishments. Next Saturday the team looks to continue its early season success at Rocky River High School.
