My girl's high school mock trial team won their districts and advanced to state. One of 16 schools. Very exciting, as it is her first year with mock trial. The team lost a couple of people to spring break, but the plaintiff and defense teams worked together to ensure everything was covered and practiced hard to make sure they were as good as possible.
The Plaintiffs went Friday night against a private school from St. Louis and by all accounts, weren't too bad. The Defense (yay!) went Saturday morning against the #1 team in the state and the #2 team in the country (another private school. Shocking). Luck of the draw, literally. The girl was awesome (in my humble opinion). The defense lost. However, their loss was not an annihilation. They acquitted themselves nicely and learned in the process. They were proud of themselves, as they should have been. And we were/are proud of them too.
Then they got to eat the best barbecue in the world: Arthur Bryant's. Definitely a good weekend.
