Congratulations to all the debaters who competed at the Tournament of Champions this weekend! A big congratulations to DebateDrills' student BASIS San Antonio Shavano PK who reached Quarterfinals in LD. We're so proud of all of our students who fought hard at such a difficult championship and showed such determination and thank all of our coaches who put in so much work behind the scenes to help our students succeed.
