GREEN RIVER The Green River High School Speech and Debate team had new challenges this year with the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic still effecting the way in which they could compete.
Despite competitions being held virtually, the team remained competitive, taking a second-place finish at the 2021 3A state competition and third at the 2021 National Qualifiers. Several students will move on to compete at Nationals, which will take place online
from June 13-19.
“The goal at the beginning of the season was to ensure the future of the team, while still maintaining our competitive edge. Since all competitions were virtual, the motivation to compete was changed for many kids,” head coach Dan Parson said. “Without a live audience, students could not feed on the energy in the room. Nonverbal aspects of communication were inhibited. Basically the dynamics of persuasive speaking, acting and debate were dramatically changed.”
