This weekend was a huge tournament at my old coach's school.  He is respected on a national level and there were schools from four states at this tournament which just impressed the hell out of me.  And then my kid and her debate partner did well.  They broke to quarter finals and got what is called a TOC bid (permission to be in a big, national tournament).  The best part was at the awards ceremony when my old coach, who was announcing the awards, came away from the podium to high five my kid when she got her award.

The whole team did well and won overall as well.  And the great part is really just how fantastic these kids are and that I get to be a part of it in a peripheral way.  I get to love and enjoy them.
