February 8, 2024
Clicking Away Leah Ghebrelul works on her WSD case for her tournament on Saturday, February 10. This is the only prepared motion at the upcoming tournament. “I’m really excited to compete,” Ghebrelul said.

On Saturday, February 10, speech and debate will be competing at the final CASE tournament before the City competition. This tournament not only indicates eligibility for competing at cities, but it also ranks schools for competition brackets at the city tournament. With a scholarship to nationals on the line, members spent this past week preparing their cases for this weekend. This Thursday, February 8, students will meet again after school for one last team practice. With entries in WSD, Congress, and LD, the stakes continue rising for the team.
