The duo finished eighth in the qualifying tournament, securing the district&rsquo;s final spot for the national tournament.<\/p><p>The debate team came to school early in August and worked through parts of winter and spring break to research, give practice speeches and strategize arguments.&nbsp; Ultimately, the students hope to compete beyond the preliminary rounds and the first elimination round of the tournament.<\/p><p>&ldquo;Our teams have worked hard and they have demonstrated a capability to win big debates down the stretch,&rdquo; said Debate Coach Adrienne Brovero. &ldquo;We have assembled a good contingent of debaters, coaches and alums who will be on standby throughout the weekend to help us out with researching new arguments and strategies.
