We said at the beginning of the year that this would be a rebuilding year as we lost 28 state qualifiers last year. It was not a rebuilding year, but it was a reloading year as 17 state qualifiers this year were in their first year of speech and we are only losing 5 of the 33 entries this year. We are a young team this year but we are mighty. We never back down from a challenge.
This Saturday we will compete in the National Qualifying Tournament here at Plymouth High School. In two Saturdays from now we will compete in the State Speech Tournament at Fishers High School.
