This Halloween, five Legacy students from the debate team will compete at Mansfield High School. Taylor Carr, Kymber Cullum, and Brittany Musser participate in extemporary debate. In this event, competitors draw for a topic, get evidence on the topic, and make a speech off the top of their heads to last eight minutes.
“I’m nervous and very excited, but I feel like I don’t know what I’m getting myself into. I think we have potential, but it’s going to take a while to get it down,” Carr said.
Joseph Kinler and Michelle Ham, also on the team, will do the LD Debate, a moral debate based on personal values. These five debaters will compete for the first time this weekend.
