According to HR 1733 the Trion High School Debate Team has established and maintained a proud tradition of excellence in debate competition and this titanic team has completed another ultrasuccessful season by capturing the 2004 Class A State Championship and by compiling a record of eight wins and no losses in the championship tournament.

The resolution also says that the members of this multitalented team are required to spend a substantial amount of after school hours in practice competition and are selected because of their superior academic standing and their ability to demonstrate their comprehension and mastery of numerous subjects under pressure; and

Finally HR 1733 states that under the expert and unwavering guidance of their coaches, Allen Hayes and Kevin Trobaugh, team members Ashley Bramlett, Amber Compton, Roxxy Quinn, and Charis Sumner have developed and refined the mental agility, verbal adroitness, and intellectual acumen that are necessary for continued excellence in academic competition.

"These kids make our community proud and I thought it was only appropriate that they be honored before the House of Representatives,” said Rep. Reece. "Maybe they will be up here one day as lawmakers.”
