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!

We love Montgomery!

A big THANK YOU!! to the generous donations from our community!  Our winter Bake Sale at Wal-Mart was a huge success!  The donations help subsidize our competition costs and to provide valuable scholarships to our team-mates.  Thanks Montgomery and Thanks Wal-Mart!!

Sophomore Success

Our Amazing Sophomores Cortez and Jessica qualified for TFA State in CX debate! Woohoo! Congrats to both Jessica and Cortez with their first qual!  Additionally, two of our freshmen CXers are attempting to make MHS history.  With only two more points needed after their advance to the final round of debate at the Cy Creek invitational, Nick and Zach are working hard to be the first Montgomery freshmen to qualify for TFA State in CX.

State Qualified!

Montgomery wins big at the Klein HS Invitational this weekend!  Robert Whitaker, Madison Gates, Jack Murray, and Steven Kayo all qualified for TFA State in CX Debate.  Placing third at Kline in CX, were Whitaker and Gates, after their salutory win at Lamar last weekend.  Kayo and Murray placed second in the final round of CX, gaining enough points to send them to State.

The individual events competition was fierce at Klein, but Montgomery had a great showing!  Freshman Emma Hook took Second Place in Programmed Oral Interpretation; this was Emma's first time doing forensic acting!  Additionally, freshman Zachary Soules had his best showing in Novice Extemporaneous Speaking, placing Seventh in finals.  Last but not least, junior Robert Whitaker continued his run of success by placing third in the International division of Extemporaneous Speaking.  Robert's insightful analysis of the European debt crisis was key to  his victory this weekend.

Congratulations, Bears!!

We won! Yay!!!

Robert & Madison placed first in CX debate and Jessica & Cortez tied for third in CX debate at the Lamar Consolidated Invitational.

Additionally, Robert was named the second place overall speaker and Cortez was named third in CX debate.
