Debate team hosts November CDA tournament

On Saturday, Nov. 17, the November Connecticut Debate Association (CDA) debate tournament was hosted at NCHS. The debate team competed against 12 other schools in both the novice and varsity sections. Many novice pairs were undefeated after 3 initial 48-50 minute rounds were completed. Their 3-0 records signified that they were halfway to qualifying for the state championships.
