Tom took 3rd at Region Speech in LD Debate!!!!!!!
Yeah for him!!!
But wait! Is there something wrong with this picture?
Yes, that is a basketball trophy! The story goes like this......
The lame high school principals (struggling with budget cuts, I know, but would they have done this for football?) voted NOT to have trophies for the winners at Region Speech. So.... the guy who was running the meet said, "Like heck!" and since he himself is an AP History teacher, he offered extra credit to any of his students who would bring in an old trophy of any kind. Wallah! He had trophies! Horses, pigs, dogs, sports, you name it! He's quick on his feet too cause when there was a tie for 2nd in one of the events, he simply had the two students come up on stage and do paper-rock-scissors for who would get the horse and who would get the pig trophy!
I love it!!!
