Here is a good video to study of the Patrick Henry College debate team. All debaters are NCFCA alumni who competed at nationals this past year.
In order of appearance:
Alan Carrilo
Joanna Griffith
Gregory Escobar
Zach Enos
(Oh, and the back of my head…purple)
A couple things that stick out to me:
– This video demonstrates why negatives should stick to ONE major philosophy and fully prove it and make all DAs center around it. Watch as two or three negative philosophies emerge.
– General knowledge of history and foreign policy is crucial (props to Joanna)
– Alan Carrilo is an amazing speaker
Alan Carrillo Is AWESOME!!! HE”S MY HERO!!!
