Bellaire qualified 11 students to the national tournament and in so doing won the South Texas NFL District Sweepstakes plaque for the 36th time in 43 years. Seniors Alec Swafford and Henry Tsai won 6th place in policy debate. Alec & Henry were 12-0 in the preliminary rounds (one of only 5 teams in the field of over 200 to do so). Senior Matt Abedi and junior Arnav Chakravarty earned 15th place in policy debate. These two teams under the coaching of Russell Rach were responsible for Bellaire High School earning an Excellence in Debate award at the National Tournament. Bellaire was one of only five schools in the nation to earn this award at the tournament (the others include Springfield Central HS, MO; Nova High School, FL; Springfield Parkview HS, MO; and Southwest Lincoln HS, NE.) This is also the first time since 1993 that two Bellaire policy debate teams have finished in the top 15. In 1993 Danny David & Benjamin Greenberg earned 8th place and Leslie Meltzer & Guy Goldberg earned 10th place at the Nationals held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Senior Chris Williams advanced to round 8 of United States Extemporaneous Speaking. Other Bellaire debaters participating at nationals included sophomore Zach Garber in International Extemp, juniors Aaron Ru & Danila Kabotyanski in Public Forum Debate, seniors Kyle Bean & Jason Leva in policy debate, and freshman Grace Sun in Student Congress. Jay Stubbs was awarded the 2006 James M. Copeland Award as NFL Coach of the Year. Previous winners of this award from Bellaire High School include Mollie Martin and Cecil Pickett (1958 & 1959), June Smith (1968), June Smith and Bill Henderson (1970), and David Johnson (1984 & 2002). The season began with our celebration of the 50th annual Bellaire Forensic Tournament. After setting TFA records in the number of CX state qualifiers (18) and LD state qualifiers (11), a 3rd place finish in the Bickell Brewer competition (for the second consecutive year), advancing teams at TFA State, UIL State, NCFL Nationals and NFL Nationals, and finishing the year with the largest squad in NFL history with 854 degrees we believe the 50th season of debate competition at Bellaire High School has been a success. 2005-2006 Results & Stories from Spring 2005-January, 2006 2005-2006 Results & Stories from January, 2006-March, 2006 2005-2006 Bellaire Debate Pictures 2006-2007 NFL OFFICERS ELECTED The following students were elected to office for 2006-2007: President Arnav Chakravarty Vice President Muthu Alagappan Secretary Christine Lu Treasurer Karthik Prasad Publicity Director Press Release Social Coordinator Anna Meyerson Historian Gustavo Herrera CX Research Captains Zach Garber Daniel Petkevich Satish Vemuri CX Novice Captains Shanna Chu Chris Fan Jenny Fan LD Captains Muthu Alagappan Umar Alam |
