State Championship in Mock-Trail Debate McKay with WXHS

Yesterday McKay and a team of 6 Senior and 1 Junior went to State Championship in Mock-Trail in  Debate for High Schools at the Salt Lake City Court House.

This Mock-Trails started out with 39 School from ALL over Utah and all had worked hard to be ready to compete! McKay was chosen out of many people to be on the WXHS team and only one other Junior was on the team and he was the Bailiff ( time keeper etc.)

McKay was one of the 4 Lawyers and he had the closing statement. It is trails before he has done very well. They had been 4 trails before and the 3 times he had been one of the attorneys, he has been names as the BEST of the night :o) So he was pumped and ready for the trail.

 Ready for the Trail!!

After 3 hours of Debating back and forth and many witness and so fort Our team was ready for the judgement. The team they were competing against was from West High School and they had won before and been State Champs. West also won the coin toss and got the side of the case they wanted which was Defense and that is what our team wanted too, it is the easier side to do. So our team had 3 days to make a great prosecution case to win State with. Could they do it ???
 
Well..... our team did GREAT!! They won the Championship and it was the FIRST time ever a school from the Davis School District has won. Way to go team YOU are TOTALLY awesome!!
