The Saddleback College Speech and Debate Team kicked off the fall semester by competing in the Pacific Southwest Collegiate Forensics Association (PSCFA) Warm-up on September 28th at El Camino College in Torrance. Brooke Howell and Madison Dixson received an excellent certificate garnering a record of 3-1 for Novice Debate (four rounds total).
Debate Coach Steve Robertson, stated, “We had a good showing at our first tournament of the year. Brooke and Madison went 3-1, which I think is a great start for the season. If talk after the tournament is any indication, the debaters are fired-up and motivated to do even better at the next tournament. It’s gearing up to be a great season.”
