Mountain Brook Debate shows its skill at Spain Park Tournament
Congratulations to the Mountain Brook Debate Team for their outstanding competition at the first ever Spain Park High School Debate Tournament.
In Novice Lincoln-Douglas debate, Amelia Putnam and Dara Buggay both made the top 12 and Dara finished in fourth over-all.
In Supplemental Debate, Jack Fitzpatrick finished 6th place over-all.
In Varsity Lincoln-Douglas debate, Kary Reynolds was 9th over-all while Alex Cordover was second and Stephen Yin was first. Stephen and Alex closed out the semi-final rounds of Varsity Lincoln-Douglas debate in dominant fashion leaving no need for a final round; it was all Mountain Brook!
In the Public Forum tournament, a bid to the Tournament of Champions was on the line. There were over 57 entries from four regional states (North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee) competing but it was the hometown team from Mountain Brook who finished on top. Congratulations to Jeff Rogers and Russell Day who earned the first bid to the tournament of Champions in Public Forum for Mountain Brook since our 2009 team of William Schreiber and Amanda Claire Grayson. William and Amanda went on to 8 place in the nation and the National Championship and top 6 at the Tournament of Champions – so no pressure Russell and Jeff!
Congratulations to all the competitors!
