UPDATE: Whether you call them "Emerald" or "Green," you better call them QUARTERFINALISTS! Hamzah's squad just broke to TOP 8 in the NATION at #Nats23! (And as this is World Schools Debate, I guess that's Top 8 in the WORLD!) #NextOne #BeATitan #OHspeaks #CLEspeaks #WSD

Congrats to Ella Jewell for breaking in Extemp Debate and winning her first break round tonight, moving on to Round 6 tomorrow tomorrow!

Sadly, Patrick’s run at the National Tournament ended yesterday. However, we were able to get this picture of Mr Snook’s first Vermilion National Qualifier (Jacob far right) and his most recent (Patrick far left).

Patrick joins the ranks of #VHS4N6 alumni as the all time points leader, 4x state qualifier, 3x Gay Janis Most Outstanding Congressional Debater award winner, and 3x National Qualifier. A storied career which is unparalleled in team history. He will do great things! #GoIrish

Unfortunately, the magical run ended in QF, but Hamzah & NC Green/Emerald will be recognized on stage tonight at the Phx Convention Center! (Just waiting now while the room fills to capacity!) #WSD #BeATitan #CLEspeaks #OHspeaks
