2010 National Championships

CONTROL – Club of Champions!!!

 

CONTROL finished the year as the TOP Speech and Debate Team in the Country!!!

 

We acknowledge that the goals of CONTROL Speech and Debate far exceed what happens at individual tournaments. That said, we participate in a competitive sport and it is biblical to recognize excellence.

 

In a testimony to God’s grace, and to all of our wonderful parents and students, CONTROL has become the MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB in the history of Christian Homeschool Forensics!!!

 

CONTROL won four National Championships in Speech and the National Championship in Team Policy Debate at the National Invitational Tournament of Champions. This gives CONTROL an unprecedented 10 National Championships in Speech and its first National Championship in Debate. No other club has ever been so blessed.

Jeriel Burke and Stephen Roe bested the best in the nation to take the Team Policy Debate National Championship!

CONTROL Team Policy Debate finished with four teams in the top 26 in the Nation! (See TP results below.)

Audrea Taylor, not to be outdone by her big brother, won the National Championship in Original Oratory!


In addition to the five National Championships, the CONTROL team had many great finishes in many events demonstrating the club’s breadth and depth. CONTROL took home the trophy for the top Speech and Debate Team at the tournament.
