Brentwood High School Debate Team coach Robyn Haug had high hopes for this year’s team, going into the year with ranked debaters.

Cole Mayfield attended the NCFL (National Catholic Forensic League) National Tournament in Chicago last summer. Jonathan Duffe-Holmes was a district quarterfinalist last year, won several awards at local tournaments and attended the grand national tournament in Chicago as well. Austin Koster is a one-time state and two-time national qualifier. He attended national tournaments in Chicago and Overland Park last summer.

Brentwood hosts a tournament on November 8, and several students have won multiple awards so far this year. Haug says a team (within the debate team) has won both local invitationals and is undefeated so far.

Cole Mayfield, Jonathan Duffe-Holmes, and Austin Koster are ranked in the top 25 in the Eastern Missouri District.
