.,, 0 ~ m % n .. - Lw " c ., m a, ~ ·· m The Cedarville debate and forensics team had a young team this year, with a few seasoned veterans and a whole batch of rookie faces, their eyes bright with anticipation and their hearts fast and furious at first because they didn't know what to expect. However, the team shattered all previous records and stopped all hearts with a stunning sweep of awards and culminating championships during spring break's NCCFI National Christian Tournament in Nashville. Besides overall debate sweepstakes, overall forensics sweepstakes, and overall school sweepstakes, the teams brought home a number of individual awards and quality awards at that tournament and throughout the year, praising character and performance. Laced with a bit of sarcasm, Shirzadian commented, "We are the best debaters in all of Christendom!" (Michael Shirzadian, sophomore debate team member) A l ittle school pride always helps performance. Members of the Forensics Team, Brad Augustine, Katlyn Hiteshew, Elizabeth Gingell, Michael Domeny, Denise Serna, and Kyle Haring compete at The 'Holiday Frolic' at OSU in December. The Debate Team continues to grow in success and reputation at Cedarville, having placed 8th at the National Debate Tournament sponsored by the National Parliamentary Debate Association, which is the largest intercollegiate debate association in the U.S.
