Rep. Reece Honors Trion High School Debate Team

Atlanta -- Rep. Barbara Massey Reece (D-Menlo) recently had HR 1733 passed commending the Trion High School Debate Team and inviting the team and its coaches to appear before the House of Representatives.
According to HR 1733 the Trion High School Debate Team has established and maintained a proud tradition of excellence in debate competition and this titanic team has completed another ultrasuccessful season by capturing the 2004 Class A State Championship and by compiling a record of eight wins and no losses in the championship tournament.
The resolution also says that the members of this multitalented team are required to spend a substantial amount of after school hours in practice competition and are selected because of their superior academic standing and their ability to demonstrate their comprehension and mastery of numerous subjects under pressure; and
Finally HR 1733 state that under the expert and unwavering guidance of their coaches, Allen Hayes and Kevin Trobaugh, team members Ashley Bramlett, Amber Compton, Roxxy Quinn, and Charis Sumner have developed and refined the mental agility, verbal adroitness, and intellectual acumen that are necessary for continued excellence in academic competition.
"These kids make our community proud and I thought it was only appropriate that they be honored before the House of Representatives," said Rep. Reece. " Maybe they will be up here one day as lawmkers."
