Tonganoxie takes state title in four-speaker debate
Once again, Tonganoxie High School brought home a Class 4A title from the state debate championships.
The four-speaker debate team of Emily Jefferies, Austin Baragary, Nic Irick and Alex Bartels won the event. THS finished ahead of Fort Scott, which placed second and Haven third.
Alternates on the team were Maggie Derzinski and Ashley Kotowske.

Point of View
Do you plan on attending the St. Patrick’s festivities Saturday in Tonganoxie?
I like seeing Tongie being festive and all dressed up for the occasion. Along with my family, I will be attending the parade, watching the Wild Women of the Frontier, snarfing up some corn beef and cabbage and listening to the pipes. I’m only Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, and sometimes the weekends before and after. The rest of the time, I’m Scottish and both cultures regard pipes as heavenly. To me, it is also a celebration of spring’s imminent arrival, and the green color carries that message, too.
