On Saturday, November 10^th, the Rock Creek Debate Team loaded up early for a long trip to the Moundridge Debate Tournament.   The team was originally scheduled to go to Sacred Heart in Salina, but that tournament was cancelled on Thursday at noon, leaving Coach Miller to scramble for another tournament to go to.  “It was a longer trip than we usually go on, but the students made the most of it,”  said Coach Miller.  The team brought home the second place plaque, and four of the six pairs also brought home medals.  In the open division, Jacy Johnston and Rachel Forrester won 3^rd place while Wyatt Fouts and Mckenzy Umscheid finished 5^th.  In the novice division, Hayden Schlochtermeier and Alex Feldkamp finished 2^nd, while Lyla Lenauer and Nate Berard finished 5^th.  “We mixed the novice pairings, switching Alex with Lyla.  It seemed to work well,”  Said Coach Miller.   The team travels to Salina (hopefully) this weekend, for a JV tournament at Salina South and an Open/Novice tournament at Salina Central.
