By Aidan Lira Hubbard’s Debate Team was invited to attend the Debate Tournament at DePaul University on December 5th and 6th. It was held by Chicago Debate League (CDL). After two days of non-stop debates, four of our very own, won The Speaker award. Daisy Aguado, Div. 510, won 12th place, Anesia Bolling, Div. 510, won 9th place, Eduardo Ruiz, 612, won 4th place and Niria Rodriguez, Div. 601, won 3rd place. Two of Hubbard’s debate teams advanced into the Octo-Finals. The Octo-Finals are a series of 8 teams and 4 debates, there they would eventually move on to the next round. Daisy Aguado and her partner Niria Rodriguez, Felicia Marsiglio, Div. 501, and Alex Mecado, Div.602, were the two teams to advance. “It’s not as easy as it looks,” Ashley Torres, Div. 512, said. “There are so many cases and files you need to bring up while debating”. When asked if students are recommended to join debate, Lily Martinez, a Hubbard alum and former debate member stated, “Yes! Hell Yes! Students who want to join the team should go for it. It helps with improving speech, reading, writing and critical thinking which is all applied in college”. Hubbard’s debate team has held a great track record throughout the years. Getting surprised with new cases won’t stop these students from dominating.
