Sonoraville High School Phoenix Odyssey Speech and Debate Team travelled to Alpharetta High School on Saturday, January 21st to compete in Sonoraville's first ever speech and debate tournament, The Alpharetta Treasure Hunt. Sonoraville placed 14th out of 29 schools, and Bella Hall won her very first round of Lincoln Douglas debate against Midtown High School. The team consisting of Bella Hall and Isabel Ulibarri was able to observe Policy Debate, Public Forum Team Debate, and various speech events to learn many techniques for use in future tournaments. Congratulations, Ladies, for an exciting and productive experience! Any student wishing to join Speech and Debate can attend meetings on Monday from 3:20 to 4:30 in Mrs. Mangrum's room (231).

Please congratulate the following students who won at FBLA at FLC. It is not common to have this many winners at FLC especially since these students are new to FBLA and this was their first competition. These students worked hard on their own time and had countless hours of after school meetings to prepare for their events. These scores are a true testament to their hard work and dedication.

Honorable Mention: Rushi Patel- Business Ethics 7th place.
