 "We more
than doubled our finalists this weekend over last Saturday, and that
is definitely worthy of praise," said Jennifer Keith, co-coach with
Abby Curry. "Speech is subjective — sometimes the judges like what
we have to say and sometimes they don't, so those that were
finalists last week weren't this week in all cases.
"That is difficult for students to process sometimes, but we are
very pleased with how the team performed in Charleston," Keith said.

"Our thoughts and prayers do go out to our competitors and
friends from around Illinois and their communities that were hit
this Sunday in a tornado," Keith added. "While we compete against
them, the speechies around the state are definitely a family, and we
are devastated for their losses."
The team has a Thanksgiving hiatus and will return to competition
Dec. 7 in Bloomington High School's invitational.
