We wrapped up our first scrimmage of the season this evening. 2024-2025 marks out 10th year of offering free weeknight debates for the community to help new debaters get a taste of competition before the first tournament.

We couldn’t have done it without our coaches this week — Mr. Miller & Ms. Schirmer, Renea Moss in Spoken Word and our alumni coaches — Will Sjostrom ‘20 and Josh Escayg ‘23.

These kids are the future!
