Debaters Get First Bid at Champions Tournament

Debaters Get First Bid at Champions Tournament

Riley Albertson and Collin Kepner

This past weekend, the OHS Bulldog Debate Team accomplished a significant feat. The entire team went 7-7 at an incredibly tough tournament, the Dowling Catholic Paradigm.

In the process, sophomores Riley Albertson and Collin Kepner received their first bid to the Kentucky Tournament of Champions tournament in 2016. Teams need 2 bids to receive an official invite to the Kentucky Tournament, which features the best teams from around the country.

Sophomores Alex Halvorsen and Megan Geidel, winners of third place in last months' Des Moines East Fall Classic, also did well against tough competition, largely comprised of out-of-state teams.
