For the second week in a row, schools from all over Indiana came to visit Plymouth High School - this time for a speech tournament. The William Young Invitational boasted a field of twenty-six teams. Plymouth withdrew from team competition (but finished 4th overall). The team was missing several individuals for various reasons, but that was no excuse. I guess the message is two-fold... (1) this year's team is not good enough to overcome leaders being gone and still hope to win, and (2) this team is being out-worked by other powers in the state. We are far enough behind that this will be a long, slow recovery - not a one or two week fix.
