Mock Trial Team Advances to State Tournament

On February 22 and 23, the District Mock Trial tournament took place at the Kitsap Country District Court in Port Orchard. SAAS was represented by two teams (see rosters below). After four rounds of competition, our Grey Team finished in sixth place which put them in the top tier of teams. The Red Team finished fourth which earned them a spot at the state tournament!
