Your Name in Lights

Jake & Eihab and Catherine & Layne have now taken their places on the NDCA Argument List Wiki for 2010-2011. This means that Casady's aff and neg strats are now going to be posted (I'm working on this) amongst all of the cases being run by policy teams across the country, from our own rival up the street to our friends in Texas and schools from Pennsylvania to California. 

This wiki was created to support the full exchange of information between debate teams in order to encourage quality clash on ideas and evidence in rounds. I know it seems counter-intuitive to give all of your evidence to the other teams, but the idea is that the better prepared we all are, the better debates we are likely to have. Now, your job will be to "scout" teams in advance and prepare as thoroughly as possible for your rounds. As we branch out and add more varieties of our own aff and neg strats for each team on our squad, I will add your names to the wiki.

Casady Sweeps Novice at Edmond North

We brought 6 teams to the novice division at Edmond North this weekend, and there were 24 total novice teams. Four of our teams broke to the out rounds, and three of the four went undefeated in prelims. All total first night we won 18 rounds and lost 6 our first night. Every team won at least two rounds out of their four. At the end of the day Saturday, we can report that Casady swept the novice division. Our two teams went undefeated today through quarters and semis, and then since they would have had to debate each other in the finals, we called it and walked away with gold and silver. Overall, Casady teams won 22 rounds of debate this weekend and lost 6. We garnered the attention and respect of the teams, coaches and judges. I am proud of how our students conducted themselves. They brought honor to Casady and clearly promoted our school's reputation in the community. Congratulations!

We have a lot of work to do to get ready for UNT, so this coming week we will be cutting cards, working on the aff, learning how to run and respond to T arguments better, working on internal links to adv and disads, and, for those moving up to JV, adding CPs and Ks. Woohoo! Bring it on!
