Nueces Canyon

Judging qualifications:
I have coached Prose and Poetry for over 30 years and have had multiple Regional and State Qualifiers in both events. I have coached Extemp off and on for a total of probably 20 years. My Debate experience started in 2021 when I moved to Stanton and the Debate baton was passed along to me. I feel like I am in a much better 'debate place' than I was four years ago, but I still have much to learn! Strength-wise, I have the best grasp on Congress, then LD, and then CX.
