The Polar Bears have returned from the OSU invitational mock trial with some hardware. Team 448 captured Fifth place (of 24 teams) and received a very nice looking trophy for their efforts. They finished with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. Students on 448 include Alexandra Habbouche, Dan Jones, Robert Kidd, Laura Presbrey Peet, Lara Wood, Steve Keslar, and Matt Wiseman (pictured at left).
Team 449 (our first year mock trial students) did not fare as well but they now have one tournament under their belt and their nervousness should not get in the way in future tournaments. I am convinced they will do very well in future tournaments and their attorney coach Mrs. Nicole Winget (a new attorney) is working very diligently with them. She commented during the weekend how they improved with each trial. 449 team members include Taylor Vance, Victoria Dickman, JaMesha Williamson, Nicole Bratton, Melody Smith, Marlina Mackie, and Andrea Fiutem.
Dan Jones earned a perfect score of 20 and received an Outstanding Attorney Award for the Prosecution. Alexandra Habbouche received and Outstanding Witness Award for the Defense.
Our next tournament is scheduled for October 23-25 at Eastern Kentucky University.
