BACK GROUND OF MOCK TRIAL
Since I been with Mock Trial since the 2018-2019 season, we have combined with East Ridge in afford to grow both programs. So those seasons we have been to the State Tournament 3 years of the 5 years. Which only 16 teams out of over 100 teams make it to the state Tournament. In 2020 we were rank 12th and in 2021 we were rank 15th and 2023 we were rand 11th. So, if you like to act or learn the law. This is for you. Plus, it will help you with Public Speaking.
