​Pine Tree Speech and Debate had a fantastic weekend competing at the Sabine Christmas Debate Tournament. Pine Tree Pirates dominated the large school field taking first place speech team. The following Pirates received individual awards:
 
Chadea' Gipson -- 1st place LD Debate, 2nd place Informative Speaking
Carter Terry -- 3rd place LD Debate
Travis Johnson -- 5th place Persuasive Speaking
Aiden McQueary -- 6th place Prose 
Shelby Garrett -- 4th place Prose
Aubrey Wickerson -- 6th place Poetry
 
Coaches Ryan Stokes, Chris Dickson, and Nicole Dickson are very proud of our team.

​On December 2-3, Pine Tree Speech and Debate traveled to Rockhill High School in Frisco where we competed against 43 other schools from the greater DFW area with notable schools such as Allen, Centennial, Callisburg, Highland Park and Love Joy to name a few. Our pirates showed extremely well against stiff competition.
