LHS Speech & Debate Team's Debate Captain, Junior Brian Yang, placed second in Open Lincoln-Douglas Debate at Whitman College's High School Tournament Oct 31-Nov 2014 to earn not only his third point toward proven excellence qualification to our State Championship this school year be he also earned his FIRST BID to the NATIONAL TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS in Kentucky in April 2015. It's been more than two decades since a LHS Speech & Debate team member has earned a bid (two required to qualify) for the Tournament of Champions (TOC). In the early 1990's, LHS Policy Debate Teams qualified for the premier high school debate National Championship; however, LHS Debate Captain, Junior Brian Yang, appears to be the first LHS Lincoln-Douglas Debater to earn a TOC bid. Congratulations to Brian and best wishes for continuing success! To learn more about TOC, visit: https://ci.uky.edu/toc/
