2007-2008 Season Wrap-up
The Taft Debate Team at the Harlan tournament early in the
2007/08 season.
Sat.
10/6/07 Tournament #1
Lindblom 9th Annual Convocation
We did
well at our first showing bringing in four JV debaters and one
Varsity debater. Our Varsity debater won a speaker award.
Fri & Sat.
11/2-3/07 Tournament #2
Harlan H.S.
New JV
debaters made a very successful showing at this debate, although no
one came home with speaker awards. There is a lot of promise for the
future of Taft debate.
Fri
& Sat. 12/7-8/07 Mid-Season Classic #3
DePaul
University
Our JV
teams continued to improve with a strong showing and speaker awards.
The Varsity team featured a new face, but once again was stuck in
maverick status.
Fri
& Sat. 1/11-12/08 Tournament #4
Finalists!
Hubbard H.S.
We finally broke through to the finals in JV and
competed with our first full V team. One JV team made it to the
final debate of the night. We brought home a JV and V speaker award.
A much improved weekend!
Fri
& Sat. 2/15-16/08 Conference Championships #5
Champions!
Hirsch
Metro H.S.
After a successful
tourney by all of our teams, we capture the JV AA
Conference Championship and one
speaker award.
Fri
& Sat. 3/28-29/07 City Championships #6
Quarter finalists!
DePaul
University Loop Campus
Our teams make it to the
city championship and compete with the best teams in the city from
the AA, A, and RCC conferences. We defy the odds and beat many RCC
and A teams at the V and JV level. Our conference champion JV team
tears through the competition and makes it to the
quarter finals, something a AA
hasn't done for some time at the city championship. We are the last
AA JV team left standing. Taft was also recognized by the CDL as one
of the most improved teams in the league. A perfect way to cap off a great season.
