Cohen Continues Forensic Success

Elk Lake seventh grader Austin Cohen continued his domination of JV Lincoln-Douglas Debate at the Scranton Catholic Forensics League Tournament at Dallas High School on February 2.

Pictured is Elk Lake seventh grader Austin Cohen, First Place winner in JV Lincoln-Douglas Debate at Scranton CFL Tournament at Dallas High School.

Cohen once again compiled an undefeated, 4 win and 0 loss record by defeating debaters from Abington Heights, Dallas, Wallenpaupack, and Shikellamy High Schools.

There was no final in JV LD Debate and, consequently, Cohen was declared the JV LD Debate Champion.

As a result of his finish, Cohen built his JV record, against freshmen and sophomores, to an amazing 21 wins and 5 losses.

“This was another solid performance from Austin. It was a great way to wrap up his JV career,” commented EL Forensics Director Keith Brosious.

The team would next travel to suburban Pittsburgh to compete at the Bethel Park Invitational Tournament on February 8 to wrap up their regular competition season.
