Carrie Schreiber and Ed Jodlowski
are co-coaches of the LCHS speech team.
"This group is so much fun to
coach," Schreiber said. "They know how to compete and are learning
how to practice. Each week we get better and better, and all we can
say about the points we scored this weekend is 'WOW.' It's hard to
think it can get much better, but the both the kids and the coaches
know it can, and that's a scary thought."
