On Thursday, November 9, North Lamar High School students debated for seven hours for the chance to represent Region 8 at UIL State in Student Congress. Students in Class 4A and 5A competed for three spots at the state tournament, which will be held in January at the Texas State Capitol.
North Lamar took the top five places claiming all three of the state berths. Garrett
Holzwarth placed first, Zach Huffman placed second and is the top presiding officer, Isabella LoCicero placed third, Mackenzie Walker placed fourth, and Carlos Candias placed fifth.
