Carver Speech & Debate Is on Fire!
The Carver Speech & Debate Team is making an impressive mark this year, earning 12 first-place finishes in just three tournaments while also participating in CASE Debates. Allen Hampton and Johnny Kelly have earned valuable qualification points toward the Texas Forensic Association (TFA) State Tournament in March and the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions (NIETOC).
Under the leadership of Mr. Anthony Cobb, Carver has built a proud tradition of success in Cross-Examination Debate and UIL district competition, advancing multiple students to regionals and sending two students to the TFA State Tournament in 2019. With two consecutive district championships, the team is determined to continue its winning streak this year!
At the Grand Oaks tournament on October 30, 2026, Carver students continued that momentum with outstanding performances in:
🥈 Prose: Allen Hampton
🥇 Program Oral Interpretation (POI): Allen Hampton
🥇 Duo and Duet Interpretation: Allen Hampton and Johnny Kelly
Representing Carver were:
Nathan Rodriguez, Team President; Jessica Negrete; Meagan Androus-Royal; Katlyn Shaw; Avery James; Allen Hampton; Johnny Kelly; Nicolas Ross; and Jahir Argueta.
Through powerful storytelling, dedicated preparation, and teamwork, these students continue to showcase Carver excellence in competitive academics.
Congratulations to Mr. Cobb, Mr. Collins, and the entire Carver Speech & Debate Team!
