“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.
