Flower Mound Wins TFA State and Cottonwood Tops The TOC DSDS!

Another weekend is in the books and we had one MAJOR tournament (TFA State) and a great scrimmage (TOC DSDS) to look into. Let’s get into it!

TFA State

At the Texas State tournament hosted in Houston, TX, the final round was a throwdown between Flower Mound Fire on the proposition versus Greenhill Emerald on the opposition. The motion debated was “This House prefers the use of African SWFs to fund African development projects over investments from outside the continent”. On a close 3-2 decision, Flower Mound secured the biggest W you can get in Texas. Congratulations to Jessica John, Aditi Singh, Arjun Patil, and Poorvi Kumar! 

The top 10 Speakers were as follows:

1. Sherry Zhang - Greenhill
