"Competing after only four weeks of school is difficult, but we faced the large schools and the stiff competition with determination and a desire to learn. It bodes well for this young team to not only learn but succeed. We look forward to a rewarding season." said Dr. Mabry M. O’Donnell, Professor of Communication and coach of the Forensics team.

Freshman Celia Brockway said, "The OFA tournament was a very positive experience. Throughout the day i learned by watching and I improved a great deal". Freshman Scott Burnham said," The Teaching Tournament was a great learning experience; it showed me a lot about forensics that I didn't know. It was very insightful"
