Anderson Speech and Debate Updates from Coach Contreras - Fall 2025

In this season of gratitude, I want to thank you all for your support of our team! I also wanted to share some of our tournament stats and wins from this year so far! 

 

We have about 80 students on the team this year across 5 class periods, including 50 students in my two Debate 1 classes! 

 

Of those 80, we had over 60 participate in 8 tournaments online and in the Austin area, including 33 students who competed for the first time ever! 

 

We had 34 finalists, 19 semi-finalists, and 11 1st-place award winners! We have 7 students qualified for the Texas State Debate Tournament in March 2026 and 19 students who have earned points towards a state qualification. 

 

Thank you for your continued support of our team! You can see our victories by following our
