OHS Congress Results

Congress members Morgan Simmons, Ava Stewart, Colby Johnson, Foster Sullivan, and Will Caffey competed in Region Congress at Region 9 in Wichita Falls on Monday, November 10. Morgan Simmons, Will Caffey and Ava Stewart qualified for state coming out as the top three.

This competition determined if our students would advance to the State Congress meet. The students were debating legislation that they had written. “Our students swept the competition,” said Mrs. Caffey the debate coach with the results of 1st: Morgan Simmons 2nd: Will Caffey 3rd: Ava Stewart 4th: Foster Sullivan 5th: Colby Johnson. The top 3 will compete at the state meet in Austin January 6-8. Their goal is to make it to the second day of competition which is called Super Congress. Those students get to debate in a subcommittee room at the State Capitol.
