[1] This year, the Linden High School debate team is bigger than ever. [2] Neither the students nor the faculty advisor have much experience, but it’s a smart, capable, argumentative group! [3] As a team, we’ve tried to make a schedule that allows her to study, prepare, and scrimmage. [4] Only one of us is able to practice on Thursdays or Fridays, which can be inconvenient. [5] Even so, we feel prepared and excited for this year’s tournaments. [6] Our first debate is on October 10th, and each of us are looking forward to it.
