From staff reports
In December, 26 members of the Lewisville High School triad (main, Harmon and Killough campuses) traveled to Wiley College, a 130-year-old institution in east Texas that was once featured in Academy Award winning movie "The Great Debators," to compete in the inaugural Melvin Tolson/Denzel Washington Speech and Debate Tournament.
LHS was the second place team overall award winner for individual event wins and the tournament second place sweepstakes team award winner.
Winners included:
Poetry interpretation: Brooklynne Edley (Harmon) sixth, Hiral Desai fourth, Dallas Beall second
Prose interpretation: Jenny Nguyen seventh, Je'Teva Shannon sixth (Harmon), Kayla Irvins-Austin fifth, Maritza Limon fourth, Dalton Franks third, Dallas Beall second, Hiral Desai first
Original oration: Durwan Green sixth, Kayla Hall fifth, Dalton Franks fourth, Snowy Trowbridge first

"Our students posted awesome performances," said LHS Speech and Debate Coach Sally Squibb. "The entire Wiley College squad and coaching staff were helpful and supportive as they welcomed LHS students."
As part of the Wiley College scholarship squad's dedication to helping young speakers, several Wiley squad members will mentor LHS debaters and public speakers as they prepare for the rapidly approaching high school national qualifying tournaments.
