McIntosh, Fayette County H.S. also in debate tourney

The story about the Starr's Mill debate team was good, but you could have also mentioned that the McIntosh and Fayette County high schools were also sending students to the national tournament. The fact that three of our county's high schools are competing in the national tournament says something about the caliber of students that we have here. As a newspaper representing our county, this could, and should, be a story worth taking another look at.

All these teams have worked so hard this past year putting in hours of research and practice. They have given up most weekends, and free time to better themselves and their teams. It is always great to see the academic teams get some of the recognition that they so truly deserve.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. As you know, the national tournament is June 16-21. As a parent of a McIntosh debater, I will be glad to let you know if any of our county's teams excel during the tournament.
