The Elk Lake Forensics Team, who lost its top two varsity debaters from last season to graduation, came out of the gates strong at the James M. Langan Memorial Tournament at Scranton HS on January 9 by placing every team member in the top 6 in their respective events.

The team was led by junior Haley Skinner in Varsity Lincoln-Douglas Debate who compiled an undefeated 4 win and 0 loss record during the preliminary rounds and advanced to Finals as the top seeded debater.

Pictured are EL Place-winners at Langan Memorial Tournament: Kenneth Brittingham – 2nd Place in Novice Student Congress; Mika Smith – 6th Place in Varsity LD: Keeley Carney – 3rd Place in Varsity LD; Haley Skinner – 2nd Place in Varsity LD.

In her first ever Varsity LD Final, Haley lost a 3-0 decision to Christa Franckiewicz from E.L. Meyers HS and placed 2nd in Varsity LD.

Placing 3rd and narrowly missing the final round was junior Keeley Carney, who compiled a 3 win and 1 loss record during the preliminary rounds.

Sophomore Mika Smith made a strong debut in her first tournament in Varsity LD by earning a 6th place finish.

In Novice Student Congress, sophomore Kenneth Brittingham earned a 2nd place trophy in his first tournament in that event.

“I’m really proud of the strong start for this young team. They really showed a lot of promise today,” commented EL Forensics Director Keith Brosious.

On November 16, the team will travel to Abington Heights HS to compete at the annual Comet Classic Tournament.
