Eight students will compete in the State 6A Tournament on Friday. Among those going to state are seniors Reid Starzl and Joshua Kalina, and their younger sisters Tessa Starzl and Faith Kalina.
The Perham team earned first place but due to a long-standing speech tradition, the hosting team does not take their trophies. Instead, the attending schools receive trophies and recognition. Pequot Lakes took the championship trophy home.
