TNSDB8 had another great weekend for New Novices with our friends from St John's at the West Point Tournament. Finishing the first day undefeated and ending prelims 5-1 as the 3rd Seed, NS CL ended their run in Octofinals and with an award for 2nd Speaker in Novice. Thanks to Army for being fantastic hosts! The amazing scenery definitely helps on the days that start at sunrise.

TNSDB8 traveled to Boston the weekend for the NE Regional Championships hosted by the Debate Team. We had 3 brand new debaters debuting with Arlen, who finally got a Novice tournament. Despite a late start to the season everyone took home awards!!! TNS XW finished as octofinalists and TNS VZ made it to Quarterfinals! Great job team, and thanks to senior Michael Kpade for judging and coaching.
