The Madison Forensics League competed at the La Vernia High School debate tournament last weekend. The team took 12  competitors with a few advancing to the  Finals and Semi-Finals. The team is excited for the rest of their season and is looking forward to their future success.

“I think our season should go really well. We have a lot of novices who are enthusiastic, excited and already excelling,” varsity member sophomore Jessica Hernandez said.

The weekend before,  Madison Forensics League attended their first tournament at Brandeis High School on Sept. 11. The team did well with members advancing to the Finals and placing in multiple events.

“The first tournament is always challenging. But with our coach, we were well prepared and we placed in the tournment, which was exciting,” president senior Summer Mills said.

With success already blooming, the team proves to be off  to a great start of the season.
