These Kids are Struggling

This live telling of the Battle of Peoria, will have to be scrapped. I am using a dynamic link. to follow the Wheaton Warrenville South High School (WWSHS) Speech team. Only if you go right now you'll understand the titles. Four sixth places, one fifth, two fourths, and one first; at this point.

Nick Desideri is the only first place so far.

These are today's results up to now.

There is something wrong with these results. My kids from Glenbard East and East Aurora are nowhere to be seen. Only the rich kids get to State. Discrimination!

I won't scrap this post. I'll be here until is over, and then the numbers will be final.

Even if Lev didn't get a first place, he already has some scholarship money to go to College. Now we have to partner, so he can succeed in College.

Lev got sixth place in Performance in the Round, but so did other three people. Four sixth places, so far. This has been a hard battle for the whole team. Even Andreas Tsironis, that had two first places, got in fourth today. Tough Finals!

Jeff Saba went from two first places prior to today's competition to sixth!

I saw Ryan Eakins and Emma Rubinstein at Glenbard West, January 9, 2010. They got fourth place. The kids from Neuqua Valley won. I told Ryan afterwards that I was glad I was not the judge. They were all so good.

The current top teams are here. They are in fifth place. Not bad.

This is a better view. They are fifth by teams, out of 35 possible positions. With a score of 17, the next up has 24 points. These kids are good. Hinsdale Central is close though, with 15 points. They could lose their fifth place.

It's Over. These are the final results.

Oak Lawn and Thornwood tied in first place with 24 points. Then Downers Grove South and Glenbard West have 23, and finally Wheaton Warrenville South 17, beat Hinsdale Central that got 15.

Congratulations Tigers!

p.s. I followed it in Twitter.

Nick Desideri from Wheaton W. South wins Extemp. 2nd Neuqua Valley, 3rd Sandburg, 4th DGS, 5th Oak Lawn, 6th Belleville West.

Final

Weird. The four top teams have 24, 24, 23, and 23 points. They won by a nose. Being speech, maybe by a tongue.
