Evan Lope, debate extraordinaire, has found success yet again. Last week Evan competed at the University of Texas at Austin at the UIL State Championships for Speech and Debate. He took home a 3rd place win in all of conference 5A in the state of Texas.

Travis Hiltbrunner, debate coach and Wylie High School English PAP teacher, shared a quote from Principal Montgomery, “Evan has been to the State level so many times this year (three in all for multiple events) he owns property down there.”

He and his partner, senior Savannah Gibson, have one more shot at debate stardom at the National Tournament in three weeks.
