Elk Lake Wins 13th District Title

Thirteen was a very lucky number for the Elk Lake Forensics Team at the Pa High School Speech League District 8 Speech and Debate Championship on February 25 at Scranton High School.

Elk Lake’s Molly Copeland won the school’s 13th consecutive PHSSL District 8 Lincoln-Douglas Debate Championship.

Copeland defeated debaters from Pocono Mountain West, Meyers, and Southern Lehigh High School en route to a 4 win and 0 loss record and the District Championship. She will now represent Elk Lake at the PHSSL State Championship Tournament at Susquehanna University on March 23-25.

“Molly has put in a lot of effort and has struggled at times this season. However, winning a District Championship makes all of the hard work worth it,” commented EL Forensics Director Keith Brosious.

Elk Lake’s Brad Flower placed third in Extemporaneous Commentary, for the first time, and missed qualifying to the State Championship Tournament by one place.

The Elk Lake Forensics Team has been in existence since 1992. The team won its first District 8 LD Debate Championship in 1994, in the team’s second season, and has one every year since.

The team will travel to Wallenpaupack High School on March 4 to compete at the Scranton Catholic Forensics League National Qualifying Tournament. The top five competitors in each event will earn the right to represent the league at the Catholic Forensics League Grand National Tournament over Memorial Day Weekend in Chicago.
