EVELETH â The Rock Ridge speech team continues to excel this year and is now getting ready for the Section 7A meet after a pair of recent victories.
The Wolverines captured the Grand Rapids Finale âtraveling trophy and went on to capture the 7A North Subsection contest two weeks ago.
The âtraveling trophy now has a new home at Rock Ridge after the varsity speech team took top honors in the competition against 27 area schools, including powerhouse programs Walker, Bemidji, Denfeld and Hermantown.
The team now competes Friday in the Section 7A contest, which is hosted virtually by Duluth Marshall. Each team will speak remotely via a Zoom-like competition platform.
