The boys will conclude their district schedule Friday at 7:30 against Southcrest at Frenship Middle School directly following the girls game. The playoffs are around the corner for both All Saints teams, and it should be an exciting time.

All Saints qualified for the regional championship by defeating Frenship and Monterey earlier in the week.

Five area high schools competed in the Regional Mock Trial Contest. Coronado, Frenship, Lubbock High, Monterey and All Saints competed in a “round robin” format tournament throughout the week. All schools compete at the same level regardless of the schools’ enrollments.

Each school is responsible for litigating the same simulated criminal murder trial by presenting either the prosecuting or defending side of the case by acting as attorneys or witnesses. Teams must prepare three attorneys and three witnesses for each side of the case since it is determined just immediately prior to that day’s contest which school will prosecute and which school will defend in the trial.

Local practicing attorneys or judges served as contest judges for each of the simulated trials. Each judge issued a ballot to determine which school won each trial as well as to award “Best Advocates” and “Best Witnesses” for each trial. A total ballots system determined which two schools would compete for the Regional Championship the last night. All Saints and Lubbock High were tied going into the finals with four ballots each.

All Saints defeated Lubbock High with a 2-1 ballot ratio for their defendant portrayal. All Saints sophomore Susannah Bumstead (10) received two ballots as Best Witness.

All Saints defeated Frenship with a 2-1 ballot ratio on the first night of the contest. Sajan Dihenia (11) received two ballots as Best Advocate, Natalie Chaudhuri (11) received one ballot for Best Advocate and Alexandra Shropshire (11) received one ballot for Best Witness.

The second night of the competition All Saints defeated Monterey with a 2-1 ballot ratio. All Saints sophomore Susannah Bumstead (10) received two ballots as Best Witness while senior Lena Tello (12) received one ballot as Best Advocate.

All Saints Mock Trial team includes: senior Lena Tello; juniors Anna Arnett, Natalie Chaudhuri, Sajan Dihenia, Sarah Going, Hannah Hays, Ava Moran, Raymond Rider, and Alexandria Shropshire; and sophomore Susannah Bumstead.

Teacher Billy Don Hampton is the team’s coach. Judge Mark Hocker and attorney Charles Chambers advise the team. Debbie Rowan worked with the team for two months last fall while Mr. Hampton was out on personal leave.

Congratulations, Patriots!
