Clay Webb - Clay Webb was a semifinalist at the NDT and CEDA in 2008. He also received a 1st Round At-Large bid in 2008, and is returning for his final year of debate. Someday, he will secure parental permission to drive to Chicago. Email him for updates on that process! |
|
Jordan Foley (Soph) – Hailing from Little Rock, AR, "Jumbles" rocked the KU camp, first as a poker player and eventually as a debater. At Missouri State, he's been incredibly productive, and reached the elims of CEDA Nationals and Berkeley as a freshman. We believe he dates the person hiding behind that hair pile, which has, incidentally been pruned heading into his 2nd year. Email him. |
|
Becca Husney (Soph) – Becca joined us from Las Vegas, a city of bright lights and minimal water supply. She debated for Coronado High, and is an important element of the Spicer Forum's westward expansion (which now including Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California). She won the Emporia tournament last year, and if she scouts your round, your cites are OURS. Email her if you lose them. |
|
Jarid Kinder (Soph) - Jarid hails from Fort Smith, and won the Emporia tournament as a freshman. He remains an ardent Hillary supporter and is actively involved in politics. Email him for this week's prognostications. |
|
Aaron Kruse (Soph) – Aaron debated for Dowling High in Iowa, and qualified for Wake Forest and the CEDA Elims as a freshman. He's generally appealing to women who are interested in hours of conversations about military technology, and remains important in our objective to diversity the squad's politics. Email him about the superiority of Duncan Hunter! |
|
Judith Rowland (Soph) - This former L/D debater converted to policy, and then to college. She was once recognized as among the best dressed teens in America, but is now pursuing a mental state of exile. She has also accrued an infinite obligation to the other; email her to find out what this means in your case. |
|
Kristen Stout (Soph) – Kristen was born in and raised in the good ole state of Texas. She drives a pick up truck which she really, really needs to keep in Springfield. Her position on Cheddar's is audience dependent, but potentially negative. She reached the CEDA elims as a freshman. Email her to ask how! |
|
Katie Frederick (Frosh) - Katie debated for the Greenwood Lab School on Missouri State campus, where she finished in the top 15 cross-ex teams at the 2008 NFL National Tournament. She helped us recruit her high school CX coach, Spencer Harris, as a GTA. |
|
Anneli Hoggard (Frosh) - Anneli may not seem dangerous at first, but is particularly adept with a trombone or with balloon art. She joins the Missouri State team after being coached in high school by Josh Bentley (a former MIssouri State debater) in Utah. |
|
Bret Higgins (Frosh) - Bret hails from Salina, KS, another hotbed of political radicalism. He is a Presidential scholar at MIssouri State. |
|
Jace Gilmore (Frosh) - Harding working, quiet, and perhaps a bit gangly, Jace produces good files quickly. He hails from LIberty, MO, also a former home for recent GTA Louie Petit, so we expect great things. |
|
Darrell Hyche (Frosh) - Darrell's addition to our team increased the quality of our squad's singing skills by about 5000%, though the quantity had always been...present. He is quite skilled too; we are still investigating how much credit to give to Debate KC coordinators (and recruiting assistants) Gabe Cook & Isaac Allen. |
|
Joel Reed (Frosh) - Although technically from Nixa, MO, Joel attended the MSDI as a high school debater perhaps more than anyone every has, and won the MSDI tournament in 2007. He decided to stick around the campus, having finally figured out some of the parking regulations. |
|
Joe Skaggs (Frosh) - Recruiting out of the Concordia camp, Joe debated in Moorhead, MN. His arrival in Missouri as a student was deeply improbable, given the distance and the state of his car. We welcome him! |
|
Becca Steiner (Frosh) - Becca is the most distant recruit in recent history, coming to Missouri State all the way from the San Diego area. She was also recruited through the Concordia camp, as the path to Missouri apparently heads through there.... |
| Danielle Smith (Senior) - Danielle is a Speech/Theater Education major who is debating to increase her ability to coach at the high school level in a few short years. She is tearing through the novice division. | |
| Chris Rothgeb (Junior) - Chris is a Speech/Theater Education major who last debated in the Bang-Murph era. He is now a utility player. | |
| Eric Wright (Frosh) - Eric used to drive an aircraft carrier, but now he drives all over the novice division, racking up tournament wins and top speaker awards. | |
|
Your Name here - The Missouri State debate team is open, regardless of debate experience. In fact, we are specifically looking for novice-eligible debaters (limited high school CX experience). Email Dr. Eric Morris to find out more. |
