| | FIRST COLLEGE DEBATE TOURNAMENT!
Yes indeed, this past weekend I was privileged to taste for the first time what college debate is like. We had a road trip to Anderson University in Indiana where we debated teams from, most notably, Patrick Henry College and Bob Jones University (among others). In any case, the National Education Debate Association (NEDA - www.neda.us) is not too much different than NCFCA, which is the homeschool league I debated in while in HS. The format is the same with the major difference that this semester its Value debate as opposed to policy, which was an interesting change to say the least.
Anyway, my partner and I took 5th place overall in the Open (i.e. Varisty) division, which was pretty exciting. Sarah and her partner also did really well in the Novice division taking 2nd place! So, I feel pretty good about the tournament, and had a wonderful time hanging out with my new debater teammates.
Below are some pictures from the tourney:
