CFALLS WINS OWN MEET

Columbia Falls won its home speech and debate tournament Saturday amongst Class A schools, downing Whitefish and Frenchtown, who took second and third respectively.

Coach Dawn Roe thanked the community for its support, as the high school wasn’t completely available due to renovations.

“The school community graciously allowed us to change the location of our tournament so that we could move forward with the tournament as planned.  Thank you to the Wildcat community for the use of your buildings and classrooms.  Thank you to the Columbia Falls community for the clothing donations to replace our giving closet, and for the donation of your time to judge,” Roe said.
