The Anaheim Hills Debate Team brought home the Golden Gavel
Award and the Overall School award at the Eagle Invitational debate tournament
on Sunday, December 12. Hosted by
Fairmont Edgewood campus and held at Fairmont Prep Academy, the tournament was
attended by seven schools: Fairmont AH, Fairmont Edgewood, Fairmont Mable,
Hebrew Academy, Heritage Oak, Pegasus, and Serra Catholic.
There were 33
teams made up of 98 individual speakers. Awards were given to the top 10
teams, top 24 speakers, as well as the Tournament Award (total number of wins)
and the Overall School award (highest percentage of wins).
“I want to especially thank my assistant coach, Lulu
Crawford, for the many hours she has spent helping the kids to research
and formulate outstanding arguments, and to my Team Mom, Lisa Ngo, for her
constant support in coordinating and providing snacks for our students at
practices and tournaments,” said Debate Coach Kristi Mead.
Fairmont debate teams’ next event will be an Inter-League
tournament with Inland-Valley Debate League (IVDL), which was the original
league to which AH and Edgewood belonged before the creation of the OCDL.
The tournament will be held at Walton Middle School in Compton on February 5,
2011.
