BCHS Speech team prepares for first competition
They don’t run six or eight miles day, and they don’t pass, kick, carry, or hit a ball. They probably don’t even perspire while practicing. However, Braxton County High has a team of 14 students who spend three or four afternoons after school each week preparing for competition. This is the speech team, and its members are as dedicated as those of any other team.
These individuals compete in different speaking events ranging from interpreting prose and poetry to sales speaking to the more serious extemporaneous speaking dealing with current events. All are challenging.
