The Jackson Hole High School Speech and Debate Team started their season off strong with a novice-only virtual tournament, hosted by Cheyenne South over this past weekend. 14 schools attended the tournament. Freshman Jasper Brandenburg finished in fifth place in Congressional Debate, the largest event at the tournament. Freshman Ben Moffett followed closely behind, tying for seventh place in the event.
Freshman Case Meaney teamed up with sophomore Jackson Neishabouri in Public Forum Debate where they tied for fifth place in that event. Freshman Oscar Andersen found success in Lincoln Douglas Debate, finishing in a tie for 6th place.

Several varsity members of the Jackson Hole High School team volunteered their time to judge in the tournament, ensuring a successful weekend for everyone competing. The Jackson team is coached by Londe and Peggy Gagnon.
