Lions Speech Team continues winning streak

Six Lyons Township High School Speech Team members advanced to the finals at a recent tournament at Eisenhower High School. The team is headed to Regional competition, and after the season they’ve had, coach Sarah Polus is hopeful for continued success. The students submitted a recording of their performances which were judged and scored in preliminary rounds. Those scores then determined if a student made it into the finals. The virtual finals were conducted live.
