Basketball season is streaking towards the final few weeks. The teams have played two of the best teams in the Foothills League in the last week. The girls held Addenbrooke to one of their lowest points totals of the year, showing off their ever improving defense. Both opponents gave our team compliments on their play. The boys also suffered two losses. We hosted Alameda International Friday night and both games were hotly contested, with STEM coming up just short each game.
The STEM Spartans Speech and Debate team successfully completed its inaugural season with a strong showing at the CHSAA 3A Speech and Debate Championships. Led by Coach John Griffin, the following students competed at the state tourney: Original Oratory- Phoenix Dalcerri, Aaron Dologonos, and Tessa Joseph; Informational Speech – Sophia Bertsch; Extemporaneous Speech- Raaga Devarasetti, Andrei Nicoara, and Timothy Pauka; Lincoln/Douglas Debate- Emmett Cumbler and Drisha Mishra.
All students won at least once in the opening rounds, with Emmett Cumbler going undefeated in the first debate rounds and Timothy Pauka advancing as a semifinalist. Highlighting the day, was the performance of Andrei Nicoara, who advanced to the finals of Extemporaneous Speech, and won a CHSAA 3A 6th place medal to become the first Spartan to medal at state in Speech and Debate.
