Hey guys! It's your debate head, Cecil D. The NFL recently announced the new topics for upcoming debate rounds. Take a look-see. *Note: Policy Debate topic is annual; it doesn't rotate like LD and PF topics.

The topics are as follows:

Policy Debate (2009-2010 Topic)

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase social services for persons living in poverty in the United States.

Lincoln-Douglas (2009 November/December Topic)

The team competed in its first tournament this season, besting the competition at the Stennis Novice Tournament at Mississippi State University. Congratulations to all our Novices who entered into the forensics world with their entries, and extra kudos to those who ranked in their events! Best of luck at future tournaments, novices!

A reminder to all prospective novices, returning members and interested persons: The 2009-2010 RHS Forensics Workshop begins soon. We will hone our speaking skills, pick and cut pieces, and prepare for the coming season. Can't wait to see the rest of the team!
 

Congrats to our four NFL competitors. While no one broke in the main events, Supplementals and Consolations gave everyone breaks. Sidenote: Special congratulations to St. Andrews's Public Forum Team, who made it all the way to finals.
 

Congratulations to all competitors, qualifiers, and participants at the 2009 NCFL Grand National Tournament in Albany, NY.. in which Tierra Williams broke in Poetry. After the tournament, the team took a trip to New York City. I think we can all agree that this year's NCFL was amazing, and we can't wait for Omaha 2010!

RHS's new batch of prospective novices learned the ropes at the team's annual Bootcamp. After 4 days of learning events, the novices are ready to take to the tournaments! Thanks, and Congratulations, to all who attended.

The team participated in the End of the Year  showcase on Tuesday - the last showcase for our four seniors. After great presentations in nearly every event, power was passed down to our new president and executive committee. Thanks to all the parents, students, and other spectators who came to see us! Everyone did an amazing job!
