Every competing event in a high school has a school they consider to be “top notch”. For Marshfield’s speech and debate team, that school is Parkview.
“This tournament has been known nationally as a quality tournament with a high level of competition,” said speech coach Greg Holtschneider.
On Jan. 28 and 29, the speech and debate team attended the level tournament with hope high. The team had multiple advancements and victories. For individual victories you can see the chart below.
