Tournament Two: Excel High School

Excel High School hosted the second tournament of the Boston Debate League's 2006/07 season on December 9th. After three rounds of intense competition, the Academy of Public Service emerged victorious in the Varsity division, with Excel High School coming out on top in the Junior Varsity.

Excel High School's Andrea Robinson and Tamara Panamara take first place in the Junior Varsity division. Although she just joined the debate team two weeks ago, Andrea is showing some real aptitude for the activity: she also won Best Speaker in the JV division!

The Academy of Public Service's Charlette McHayle is understandably excited after winning first place team and second place speaker at the second Varsity tournament of her career.
