The DCHS speech team came in second place at the April 1st tournament in Phillipsburg.  Oberlin was right behind Quinter, and right in front of Norton. 

Placing second were Alyssa Rippe in serious solo, earning 14 points, and Jessica Bremer in extemporaneous speaking, earning 18 points. Both events are qualified for the state tournament.

Amber Mason in prose and Rory Wendelin in humorous solo acting both placed third.

Placing fourth and earning 11 points were Tim Larson and Amber Mason in duet acting.

Placing fifth were Joe Hirsch in humorous solo, teammates Joe Hirsch and Alyssa Rippe in improvised duet acting, and Rory Wendelin in poetry. 

Three events placed sixth: Ashley Horton in prose, teammates Kassia Bryan and Chenny Langness in improvised duet acting, and Kassia Bryan in humorous solo.

Also competing were Ashley Horton and Hunter Nedland in duet acting, Jordan McHugh in serious solo acting, and Hunter in extemporaneous speaking.

"This was an exciting tournament," said Coach Leigh Davis.  "We actually beat Quinter the first round, which was exciting.  We did not have a full team for this tournament, which hurt our final points, but those who went did an excellent job for Oberlin."
