September 10th-11th *Bellaire Novice Extravaganza*

Over the weekend Falcon Debate competed in the Bellaire HS Novice Extravaganza. This tournament is designed for first year debaters only. This year we exceeded all expectations. The CX team of Alexis Holland and Rachel Clark beat out all competition to take 1st place in CX Debate. The team of Mavis Escalante and Sarah Johnson finished a close 2nd in CX debate. The best Falcon Debate had previously finished in five year of competing at this tournament was third. All members of Falcon Debate did well. Other competitors included Travis & Trevor Blackwood, Idalys Bradford, Joseph Gutierrez, Treivion Sheppard, and Treston Smith. Please congratulate all members for a successful beginning to the 2010 debate season.
