Chattahoochee High School hosted the Cougar Classic each fall from the late 1990s until 2019. Over the years, it grew to become a strong regional tournament that attracted competition from throughout the Southeast. Held in late September, it was typically the first big invitational on the Georgia policy debate schedule. (Marist School took over responsibility for hosting the tournament beginning in 2020.)
In total, Woodward won nine Cougar Classic championships and cleared 28 teams to the elimination rounds.
