KIPP GOES UNDEFEATED!


Adrian Belvitt & Nakami Woodley of the KIPP Academy went undefeated in the third NYCUDL tournament of the year! They did so by beating teams from the two largest middle school programs in the league - The Institute for Collaborative Education and the Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice. But names were not important to KIPP at the tournament! Adrian and Nakami scored decisive victories in both rounds and Adrian also walked away with the overall 5th place best speaker award! So a huge congratulations to the Great Debaters of KIPP!


EAST BRONX ACADEMY GOES UNDEFEATED!!!


East Bronx Academy’s team of Lamont Scott & Damien Karan had their most impressive tournament of the year and went undefeated by beating more experienced debaters and schools such as the Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice and PS 278!! Way to go for the host team! East Bronx Academy featured one of the best tournaments of the year with lots of food, lots of great music, and lots of trophies! We owe a huge debt to East Bronx Academy which over the years has developed a reputation as one of the most generous hosts! From end of the year banquets to tournaments to workshops - East Bronx Academy has been an incredible partner of the NYCUDL. So a huge shout out to their coach, Christine Bermudez, the Great Debaters of the East Bronx Academy, their Varsity Debater Amanda and their Principal, Ms. Sarah Scrogin who has been incredibly supportive of debate since the very beginning of East Bronx Academy’s membership in the urban debate league!
