The Glasgow High School Scottie Speech and Drama team travelled to Havre over the weekend to test their skills on the stage and they did not disappoint. Taking along a total of 15 competitors the Scotties claimed three top slots with Donny Brabeck claiming first in Lincoln-Douglas debate; Isabelle Griffin claiming first in Dramatic Solo; and Ian Wright taking the top slot in Humorous Oral Interpretation. The team also claimed a total of four other podium slots and took home the Class B trophies for both Speech and Drama.
"Best meet of my coaching career," said Scottie head coach Jodi Griffin. "This team is going to have a great season." Griffin moved to Glasgow via Sunburst where she coached the speech and debate team for two years and picked up the assistant coach position last year. She assumed control of the team going into the 2019 season and is optimistic about the group's year to come.
In regards to their performance in Havre she was unequivocal about how she felt about it, saying it was "an amazing day for this amazing group of kids."
The Scottie Speech and Drama team will head to Poplar on Saturday, Nov. 9. The Scottie Invitational will be the following week on Nov. 16. Griffin said she is looking for volunteers to help with judging events, no experience required. To assist you can sign up at https://volunteersignup.org/WAKX9 or by emailing Griffin at [email protected]. Judges training will be held Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium for those that have signed up to help at the meet.
