Speech and Debate Streak Continues, Celebrates Seniors Eliza McLaughlin - Staff Reporter Broadwater High School’s speech and debate team hosted 219 competitors from class A to class C on Saturday, Jan. 7 and brought home hardware in most events.
Kayden Greene and Kykia Mondragon stunned the judges with their classical theater performance for a first-place finish.
The Townsend teams swept the humorous theater event with Sienna Everett and Haven Vandenacre in first, Will Lynde and Cooper Hines in second, and Jonah Wishman and Scarlett McDonald in third.
Cassidy Johnson also earned a first-place title for her performance in the dramatic solo event.
With so many first-place finishes, Townsend was a shoo-in for the overall Class B title.
The home meet marked yet another win for this year’s senior squad, according to head coach, Denise Bakkum. “I don’t think this group has ever lost a tournament since they were freshmen", she said following the meet.
Everett, Greene, Johnson, Wishman and Lynde celebrated their achievements with their families prior to the tournament’s award ceremony.
