The LRCH Debate recently traveled
to the University of Kentucky at Lexington for the 2019 National Debate Season
Opener where Seniors Sakshi Garg and Valorie

a pool of 77 teams, and defeated Alpharetta (GA) in the Double-Octafinals
round, ADL (International) in the Octafinals round, and Cypress Bay (FL) in the
Quarterfinals round. They finished their amazing run at in the Final Four

TX.
Additionally, LRCH
advanced Sophomore Joe Rhee and Junior Abdullah Ahmed to the
Double-Octafinals round, where they faced off with the formidable Montgomery
