DKC Opens Middle School Season as Royals Open World Series

Read Time:2 Minute, 18 Second

On Tuesday, October 21st, the DEBATE-Kansas City middle school season opened at The Barstow School. It was the same night the Royals started the World Series against the Giants and DKC staff worked furiously with tournament host Linda Collier (Barstow head coach and DKC founder) to get the tournament completed on time. Well over 200 students competed from over a dozen area middle schools.

DEBATE-Kansas City is grateful to all the judges that came out – especially all the high school debaters from Barstow, Sumner and others. DKC tournaments require over two dozen judges and the volunteer efforts from high school debaters and members of the community is greatly appreciated.
