Flathead High School hosted the season’s one day Kalispell Kickoff speech and debate tournament on Saturday. The event drew competitors from five AA schools, as well as from A, B and C schools in the state.
The overall team winners were divided into two categories, one consisting of AA schools and all the other schools competing against each other. The AA winner of the meet was Glacier High School, followed by Flathead High School in second and Sentinel High School out of Missoula in third.
In the other category, Columbia Falls won and Loyola took second. Whitefish came next with a third place finish.
