At the last three tournaments — Singletary Invitational, University of Oregon Invitational, and Logan Will Invitational — Hood River Valley High School’s speech and debate team continued to do well, said adviser Ann McDonald.
“The majority of the team members are sophomore/freshmen, yet we continue to get strong comments from judges and are improving rapidly,” she said. “Not all students are making it to final rounds, but once the skills are honed — watch out next year! This is a strong team!”
