Debate Team in Southern Califoirnia 40.51 KB
The SFHS Debate went on their debate tour to challenge debate teams from all across the U.S. They left November 5th and got back on November 10th. They went to U.S.C. (University of Southern California) to compete. The team won about half of their debates. Alex Argyle the president of debate this year said, “We did pretty good because our team is mostly novices. We won about half of the debates we competed in.” The debate team did a great job and really enjoyed going on tour. Eleven students participated in the The Lincoln Douglas Debates. Their topic was the following: public health concerns justifies compulsory immunizations. Students debated six, forty-five minute rounds. The policy topic was that the United States federal government should substantially increase social services for persons in poverty in the United States. There were fourteen students participating who debated six, one and a half hour rounds in Policy. It was a grueling but exhilarating experience for all the debaters. Mr. Brough, advisor, was proud of what the students accomplished.
