Hunter Rogers, a junior, advanced to the double octo-final round. Annie George, also a junior, advanced to the octo-final round.
Additionally, Seth Fendley won first place in the tournament after the final round of debate. He was also awarded fourth place in the novice individual speaker division.
The competition was held at Bossier Parish Community College in Bossier City, Louisiana.
