NFA Results
Congratulations to all the debaters on a successful NFA National Championship tournament. Schools that regularly compete in Southern California had 8 entries in NFA-LD with a combined record of 23-25 and brought back 3 awards including two double octofinalist and one quarterfinalist award.

1. Congrats to the Tigers – top to bottom, coaches and debaters alike – for a SUPERLATIVE season; and congrats to the “Lone Wolf” they brought to NFA Nationals on a job well done!
2. I would certainly extend “West Coast Status” to the United States Air Force Academy (assuming, arguendo, that they want it).
3. I would urge ALL debaters on the West Coast with eligibility to get into NFA-LD.
LD is high-proof; Parli is mere Near-Beer. 
P.S. Kasey – welcome to the club! If there’s ever “do-overs” in debate, Colby and I didn’t “lose” to KU in the NDT Semis, either!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Congrats to Will (5th) and Steve (7th) for their speaker awards. Top 10 at NFA is a big accomplishment!
p.s. We didn’t “lose” that quarters round, going down on record right now for my man Farias.
