In early November (2017) our team traveled to Lynchburg, Virginia to compete against schools from across the region. Fortunately, we had quite a showing!
We only sent two students to this tournament as many of our teammates had other commitments during this weekend. Still, we are proud to report that these two Shepherd Rams were able to win 4th Place out of more than 10 teams despite being greatly outnumbered. This tournament also gave us an opportunity to reconnect with one of our Debate & Forensics alumni, and current Liberty University law student, Jamin Branch. Thanks JB!!!
