August 14-17 - Summer Practice- required, 10 AM to 4:30 PM
Be sure to bring a digital timer, a ream of printer paper (2 is preferable), multi-colored pens. It's also a good idea to bring a composition book and a 1"-2"3-ring binder. Bring a laptop if you have one.
If you haven't sent me an email yet, please do so that I can have all of your email addresses. My email is chris at christopherstowe dot com.

FYE
When your partner goes for the wrong thing in the 2NR:
When a novice asks the same question over and over in CX:
When your students forget to bring flow paper or just don't flow:
When your partner drops a turn, but sits down with 30 seconds left in a rebuttal:

Howdy Bears!
Roadmap: I'm gonna go 13-off and case.
Just kidding.
As Ms. Nix-B introduced, I'm Mr. Stowe. I'm excited to get to work with you guys, and continue the success of the program at MHS. I've been involved with forensics for over ten years as a competitor, judge, and coach. My background is in policy debate and extemp, but I've competed in or coached nearly every event. I love pretty much everything about forensics, except maybe LD. ;)
I attended THE Magnolia High School when the forensics program was me and three other people- one of whom would become my wife. (Don't worry about allegiances; I don't know anybody there anymore.). I attended college in Utah at BYU (Rise and Shout!) and UVU (Go Wolverines! The animal- not Hugh Jackman) and majored in Communication. I hate snow, so I moved back to land of Blue Bell and Dr. Pepper as fast as I could; my wife literally picked me up from campus in the moving van right after my last final.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all, working hard, having fun, and winning some championships. If any of you need to get in contact with me this summer my email is chris@christopherstowe.com. We have tentatively scheduled practice for sometime in August. Check back for more updates.

We're going "fishing"!
Its time for our annual 'fishing' expedition! English honors teachers Mr. Clark and Ms. Duncan have once again generously offered to let the debate team come by to try and recruit a few rising freshmen. Any 8th graders with questions about the team should feel free to post them as a reply to this blog or email the coach at: knixbuckner@misd.org. One of our current squad members will be happy to answer any questions you might have!
