DDF had their first DDF meet in Juneau on November 13-14. This year there is a new coach for the DDF members her name is Tegan Baldwin who was hired Nov. 10 The DDF members did pretty well for only having about two weeks to prepare for this Sitka tournament and “two placed so it was great experience” said Tegan Baldwin. During the beginning of the year DDF was going to be cut but after the school board voted and said that it should stay they left to sitka. “It is one of the single most important activities to have in High School,” she said. “It has all of the elements of social networking from sports, but it also involves your mind: learning how to speak, learning how to write, learning how to come up with ideas through research." The team had a second place finish in Extemporaneous Commentary and finished third in Oration.
