St. Buffaville is back in action Saturday March 5 at Buffalo High School for its second home meet of the season.
The team will also compete at Grand Rapids High School on Mar. 10-12 in the National Forensic League Northern Lights District tournament.
The district tournament will also include the final rounds of the National Qualifying Congressional Debate session, which includes STMA students Cody Goodchild and Jed Rothstein.
The congressional debate was rescheduled for the March district tournament after the mid-December blizzard forced the cancellation of the second day of the tournament at STMA.
A portion of the St. Buffaville team will also compete on Mar. 12th at Kimball High School.
