Josh Morrison, Houston County High School sophomore, won first place in the State in his competitive division, Junior Varsity Policy Debate, at the Georgia Forensic Coaches Association tournament.  The event was held in February at Evans High School in Augusta.

Teams from all over the state competed in two policy debate divisions, Novice and Junior Varsity.   Josh beat out approximately 85 other debaters in his division.  Teachers Ken Cavanaugh and James Brock serve as Debate Team Coaches.

“This is quite an accomplishment for a sophomore, said Cavanaugh.  “This is Josh’s second year with our HoCo Debate Team, and he is doing an awesome job!” 

Josh and a teammate, Kyle Yarborough, also won a District tournament held Feb. 27, 2010, at Warner Robins High.  Both Josh and Kyle, a junior at Houston County High, qualified to attend the National Forensic League championships this June in Kansas City.
